David Lemaitre - River Man lyrics

Betty came by on her way Said she had a word to say 
about things today 
and fallen leaves Said she hadn't heard the news 
hadn't had the time to choose 
a way to lose 
but she believes I'm going to see the river man I'm 
gonna tell him all I can
 About the plan
 For lilac time If he tells me all he knows 
about the way his river flows 
and all night shows 
in summertime Betty said she prayed today 
for the sky to blow away 
or maybe stay 
she wasn't sure For when she thought of summer rain
 Calling for her mind again
 She lost the pain
 And stayed for more I'm going to see the river man I'm 
gonna tell him all I can
 
about the ban
 On feeling free If he tells me all he knows 
about the way his river flows 
i don't suppose
 It's meant for me Oh, how they come and go
