River Man

Nick Drake

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 the 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

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
