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 |
|
Gonna see the river man |
|
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 |
|
Gonna see the river man |
|
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 |
|
Oh, how they come and go |
