More Understanding Than a Man

I can sit by the river in the shade of a tree I can sob when I'm lonely, I can sing when I'm free And I know that the river wants to listen to me For she's more understanding than a man I can come to the river when the twilight is new I can laugh when I'm happy, I can cry when I'm blue And I know that the river sees my own point of view For she's more understanding than a man They say that love is something that is simply grand Who needs it when you know it doesn't understand? I can walk by the river in the cool summer breeze I can dream in the silence, I can speak when I please And I know that the river comprehends what she sees For she's more understanding than a man I can walk by the river in the cool summer breeze I can dream in the silence, I can speak when I please And I know that the river comprehends what she sees For she's more understanding than a man For she's more understanding than a man
