River man

 

Betty came by on her way

Said she had a word to say

'Bout things today

And fallen leaves

[Verse 2]

Said she hadn't heard the news

Hadn't had the time to choose
A way to lose

But she believes

[Chorus]

Gonna see the river man

Gonna tell him all I can
About the plan
For lilac time
If he tells me all he knows

'Bout the way his river flows

And all-night shows

In summertime

[Verse 3]

Betty said she prayed today

For the sky to blow away

Or maybe stay

She wasn't sure

[Verse 4]

For when she thought of summer rain

Calling for her mind again

She lost the pain

And stayed for more

[Chorus]

Gonna see the river man

Gonna tell him all I can
About the ban

On feeling free

If he tells me all he knows

'Bout the way his river flows

I don't suppose

It's meant for me

[Outro]

Oh, how they come and go

Oh, how they come and go
