River Man
David Lemaitre

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


I’m going to see the river man

I’m 
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


I’m going to see the river man

I’m 
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
