Cool breeze on the river

Ripples to the shore

Wash away my troubles

To the sea forever more

Wind and willows whisper

Sadness is the sound

Tell the tale of my wants

Happy world that's falling down

Old man I might be going where you're bound



Old man river

I've come to talk again

Yes I know you're tired

Cause your journey never ends

He's just like you

He's moving all the time

And I think he's moving me out of his mind



I want to travel with you

In your deep and nimble soul

That's the only way to make it

Peaceful like before



We used to touch at midnight

But now I feel he's gone

Even though he's lying next to me I feel alone

Oh man it looks like I'm to travel alone



Old man river

I've come to talk again

Yes I know you're tired

Cause your journey never ends

He's just like you

He's moving all the time

And I think he's moving me out of his mind



Old man river

I've come to talk again

Yes I know you're tired

Cause your journey never ends

He's just like you

He's moving all the time

And I think he's moving me out of his mind
