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
