Lyrics
Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today
And falling 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 riverman
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
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 riverman
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
