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.
Going to see the river man, going to 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.
Going to see the river man, going to 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.

Actually, I did....and then a second time when I returned tonight. LOL NO respect for the sleeping, I know!
Very lovely.
I enjoy Nigel's 'Seasons' CD--himself notsomuch (I think it's the personality more than the music--ohhh....he makes pretty music!).
:-)
I'm not a total fan of Nige's seasons but I used to like him when he was a spikey kid.
This is lovely.
I did had encounters with him, in the 80s (when I was going out with The Violinist) - he's just like the writing/warnings on his tin
and still is, decades later
how wonderful for him that he's enjoys what he does! (The violinist is now a barrister)
