banks of the river

sittin' on the banks of the river and i watch it roll down

and i

can't help but think that i wish it'd turn around

watch it flow back to me then i could change it's path

sorta like i'm goin' back and i'm changin' the past

sittin' on the banks of the river and these thoughts goin' through my head

kinda like i wish i could go back and take back feelin' everything's done and unsaid

then a lot of bridges that stood tall that i burned and it went up in smoke

i could unburn and then turn around and reverse all them many tight bonds that i broke

and the time is startin' to go and fly by and the days

well they turnin' into years

i said the time is startin' to go and fly by and the hopes

well they turnin' into fears

i don't wanna go back

but i think to myself yo is it really that feasible

is the ability to turn back the clock just a little bit so unreasonable

well i know it is but i guess my mind is sittin' in a vat that's full of

and the river's flow has got me hypnotized and my mind is somewhere off in left field

and the birds chirp

and the water flows

and then they go a little bit deeper off

and that serenity with the wind blowin' and i'm on the ground and it's feelin' so soft

and i know i can't turn back the time and if i could

i guess i'd already be done

but if you can't dream of fictitious things

well then somebody tell me what's the fun

so if you don't know exactly where i've gone and you try to think and you draw a blank

you can find me outside in that cool breeze

i'm sittin' down and i'm chillin' on that river bank

sittin' on the banks of the river and i watch it roll down

and i

can't help but think that i wish it'd turn around

watch it flow back to me then i could change it's path

sorta like i'm goin' back and i'm changin' the past

i'm sittin' on the

i'm sittin' on the

i'm sittin' on the banks of the river yeah

i'm sittin' on the

i'm sittin' on the

i'm sittin' on the banks of the river yeah

d. thrash and i'm sittin' on the river banks

i pray to the lord and i give thanks

with the cool breeze and the green trees

everything is so unique

man

i love it out here

toes in the water it's crystal clear

and

i'm lookin' straight ahead

but their ain't nothin' goin' on in my head

that's right

not a care in the world

and when i get bored my thumbs twirl

knowin' i should be fishin'

can't even think about what i'm missin'

i pick up a flower

and i hold it up to my nose

it's got me reminiscing while i'm out here

sittin' on the banks of the river as i watch it roll down

and i

can't help but think that i wish it'd turn around

watch it flow back to me then i could change it's path

sorta like i'm goin' back and i'm changin' the past

sittin' on the banks of the river as i watch it roll down

and i

can't help but think that i wish it'd turn around

watch it flow back to me then i could change it's path

sorta like i'm goin' back and i'm changin' the past

i'm sittin' on the

i'm sittin' on the

i'm sittin' on the banks of the river yeah

i'm sittin' on the

i'm sittin' on the

i'm sittin' on the banks of the river yeah
