Guryan describes how her interactions with nature and experience with isolation bring her a stronger sense of comfort and freedom than if she was within the presence of a man.
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I can walk by the river
In the cool summer breeze
I can dream in the silеnce
I can speak when I plеase
And I know that the river comprehends what she sees
For she's more understanding than a man
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
For she's more understanding than a man
