Bet-ty came on by her way Said she had a word to say

Said she hadn't heard the news Hadn't had the time to choose

Gonna see the riverman Gonna tell him all I can

If he tells me all he knows 'Bout the way his river flows

Betty said she prayed today For the sky to blow away

For when she thought of summer rain Calling for her mind again

Gonna see the riverman Gonna tell him all I can

If he tells me all he knows 'Bout the way his river flows

'bout things today and fallen leaves

A way to lose what she believes

About the plan for lilac time

And all night shows in summertime

Or maybe stay, she wasn't sure

She lost the pain, and stayed for more

About the ban on feeling free

I don't suppose it's meant for me
