You wanted me to write you a letter Here it is It's left on the river on the boat And if the things I feel around me could reach you They never will you're much too remote
Women walk in the shade with water jars It's so different here So hot, no phones or cars It's so different here It's so hot here
These afternoons are for a sleep The people are in their nets They'll be in the boat at sunrise I watch them melt their lives They teach me much I could not tell you Not until you've seen my eyes
You never built a conclusion With thorough effects and ups and downs And not much of this brought me here Rivers still flow slowly when the land is low My mind weeps on But I'm too hot to shed a tear
Women walk in the shade with water jars It's so different here So hot, no phones or cars It's so different here It's so hot here
