In The River Lyrics

She�s sitting on the counter with cotton �tween her toes
He�s thinking about leaving, and making it known
And while she waits she pulls a petal from a rose
He�s summing up syllables and putting on his clothes
And out in woods where the white river flows
It�s carrying something home

But don�t forget, that he just needs a kind he�s never met
He just needs a kind he�s never met
And you know all the words, but you ain�t really heard �em yet

She wants to talk, she�s a little bit scared
So she just keeps quiet and hopes he cares
And he thinks it over while he touches her hair
And he�s gotta do it, though it�s not fair
And out in the river there�s rocks down
Where the sun can�t point it�s glare

But don�t forget that he just needs a kind he�s never met
He just needs a kind he�s never met
And you know all the words, but you ain�t really heard �em yet

And on the floor she�s crying and moaning �Just can�t be so.
�Well, I tried to be the one that he wants.
�He told me but it can�t be so.�
Well, it was more than one, and it was more than one at once

And you want him now, but wait �til the morning
Your bed is half empty and your eyes are full wet
He�s the kind that needs a woman, he just needs a kind he�s never met
He just needs a kind he�s never met
And you know all the words, but ten thousand flowers can�t dam a river
Can they, baby? Can they, darlin�?
No, ten thousand flowers can�t dam a river
Now, baby
