0:08Artist by: Nick Drake
0:13Betty came by on her way
0:17Said she had a word to say
0:21About things today
0:28And fallen leaves.
0:35Said she hadnt heard the news
0:40Hadnt had the time to choose
0:45A way to lose
0:52But she believes.
0:53Going to see the river man
0:59Going to tell him all I can
1:05About the plan
1:12For lilac time.
1:16If he tells me all he knows
1:21About the way his river flows
1:30And all night shows
1:32In summertime.
1:40Betty said she prayed today
2:02For the sky to blow away
2:10Or maybe stay
2:13She wasnt sure.
2:22For when she thought of summer rain
2:24Calling for her mind again
2:34She lost the pain
2:35And stayed for more.
2:39Going to see the river man
2:48Going to tell him all I can
2:56About the ban
2:57On feeling free.
3:04If he tells me all he knows
3:11About the way his river flows
3:16I dont suppose
3:21Its meant for me.
3:24Oh, how they come and go
3:41Oh, how they come and go
