I wonder what the river knows As it sees the morning sun I wonder what the river knows When the light of day is done I wonder what the river knows When the moon is shinning bright I wonder what the river knows When there's not a star in sight I wonder what the river knows About my life and times I wonder what the river knows About my petty crimes I wonder what the river knows As it sees me sitting here I wonder what the river knows As it sees me shed this tear I wonder what the river knows Of the man I want to be I wonder what the river knows Of the one that loves me I wonder what the river knows Of the one I hold so dear I wonder what the river knows Of why we can't be near I wonder what the river knows When my feelings run amuck I wonder what the river knows And if it gives a fuck I wonder what the river knows Of feeling from the heart I wonder what the river knows Of lovers forced apart I wonder what the river knows Of cares being cast away I wonder what the river knows Of lovers as they play I wonder what the river knows It will never give up it's dead I wonder what the river knows It will never run its head I wonder what the river knows Of just what all it's done I wonder what the river knows Of it and us being one
