Riverman Songtext
von Benjamin Clementine

Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today
And falling 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
And 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
But when she thought of the summer rain
Calling for her mind again
She lost the pain
She lost the pain
And stayed for more
Stayed for more

Gonna see the river man
Gonna tell him all I can
About the band
Feeling free
And if he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
I don't suppose
I don't suppose
I don′t suppose
It′s meant for me

Oh, how they come and go
Oh, how they come and go
