Cool breeze on the river, ripples to the shore
Wash away my troubles to the sea forever more
Wind & willows whisper, sadness is the sound
Tell a tale of my once-happy world that's fallin' down
Old Man, I might be going where you're bound

CHORUS:
Old Man River, I've come to talk again
Yes I know you're tired 'cause your journey never ends
She's just like you, she's movin' all the time
& I think she's movin' me out of her mind

I wanna travel with you in your deep & inroad soul
That's the only way to make it peaceful like before
We used to touch at midnight, ah but now I feel she's gone
Even though she's lyin' next to me, I feel alone
Old Man, it looks like time to travel on

(chorus x2)

Oh I think she's movin' me out of her mind (x3)
