Drake Nick River Man Lyrics

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 to 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.
