banks of the river

Lyrics

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
