Watching the River Run - Susan Jacks

What's the matter with me I can't really say Standing on these darkened windows From an all-night café Lookin' over the moon And watching the trucks go rollin' slow I'ma sit on this bank of sand And watch the river flow Wish I was back in the city Instead of this bunch of sand With the sun streaking down over the chimney tops And the one I love so close at hand Said if I had wings and I could fly I know where I would go But until that day, I'm gonna sit right here And watch the river flow People disagreeing on everything Makes you stop and wonder why Why only yesterday I met somebody who couldn't help but cry But this ol' world Keeps on and slowly going So I'm gonna sit here on this bank of sand And watch the river flow Say folks disagreeing on everything Makes you wanna stop and write a book Say I saw somebody down the street Who was really sure Saying that this ol' world Will keep rolling on you know So I'm gonna sit right on this bank of sand And watch the river flow Watch the river flow Said I'll watch the river flow Yeah, sit up out on this sand And watch the river flow

I used to have a line Between what was wrong, and what I thought was right It kept bending all the time Winding through relationships Like a river running wild Like a river running wild I've been drinking here some time, I've been trying to see the light Behind your waterfall of tears Lets wash away our fears Then breakaway Erode our way through this Run river Flow river Faster to the sea Run river Roar river Rushing over me Run river Flow river Faster to the sea Run river Roar river Rushing over Rushing over me Maybe this time i might stay Try and find another way Maybe there's more to you and me Maybe we drift until we're free Run river Flow river Faster to the sea Run river Roar river Rushing over me Run river Flow river Faster to the sea Run river Roar river Rushing over Rushing over me The fire's warm when the Waters cold I'm trying hard to let you know The sun shines while the Tide flows The light won't reach us down below The fire's warm when the Waters cold I'm trying hard to let you know The sun shines while the Tide flows The light won't reach us down below
