Mr. Jenson down the road He's sixty-seven years old His wife is dead and his son lives in Oregon And the clock won't spare him nothing The conclusion is forgone And he keeps on watching the river roll along You can look outside your window At the hustling of the day But nighttime falls and you know that it won't last long One man eats beans for supper One eats filet mignon And you keep on watching the river roll along Living like tomorrow is a universe way As the sands run out with a dispassionate yawn Never yielding to the wisdom That there ain't no Avalon We just keep on watching the river roll along Did you tell your wife you love her? Did you tell your kids the same? Did you hold them in your arms with all your brawn? Cause you won't be here forever And the next day they'll be gone As you keep on watching the river roll along |
