River Man - Lee Ritenour/Kurt Elling/Dave Grusin/Nathan East/Will Kennedy

Lyrics by：Nick Drake

Composed by：Nick Drake

Betty came by on her way

Said she had a word to say

'Bout things today and the falling leaves

Said she hadn't heard the news

Hadn't had the time to choose

A way to lose what she believes

Gonna see the riverman

Gonna tell him all I can

About the plan for my return

If he tells me all he knows

'Bout the way his river flows

And all night shows in summertime

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 end

Calling for her mind again

She lost the pain and

Stayed for more gonna see the riverman

Gonna tell him all I can

About the ban on feeling free

If he tells me all he knows

'Bout the way his river flows

I don't suppose it's ment to for me

I've been coming going holding

Coming going I'll be coming

Going holding coming going
