Riverman

Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today
The 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 gonna see the riverman
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

Betty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
Or maybe stay
She wasn't sure

But when the thought of summer rain
Callin' for her mind again
She lost the pain
And stayed for more

Gonna see the riverman
Gonna tell him all I can
About the ban
On fallin' free, yeah
