Karaoké River Man Nick Drake

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

Gonna see the river man

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

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 river man

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

Oh how they come and go

Oh how they come and go
