Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today
And father 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 planet
For I like time
If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
And all my chose
In summer time

Betty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
And 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 band
I'm 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
Oh, how they come and go
Oh, how they come and go
Oh, how they come and go
They come and go
