Nick Drake ‘River Man’ Lyrics: 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 Going to see the river man Going to 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 Going see the river man Going to 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

Nick Drake ‘River Man’ Lyrics:

Betty came by on her waySaid she had a word to sayAbout things todayAnd fallen leaves

Said she hadn't heard the newsHadn't had the time to chooseA way to loseBut she believes

Going to see the river manGoing to tell him all I canAbout the planFor lilac time

If he tells me all he knowsAbout the way his river flowsAnd all night showsIn summertime

Betty said she prayed todayFor the sky to blow awayOr maybe stayShe wasn't sure

For when she thought of summer rainCalling for her mind againShe lost the painAnd stayed for more

Going see the river manGoing to tell him all I canAbout the banOn feeling free

If he tells me all he knowsAbout the way his river flowsI don't supposeIt's meant for me

Oh, how they come and goOh, how they come and go
