robert earl keen – not a drop of rain (live) lyrics
streets are almost empty, shops are all closed down
there? s not a soul left in the bar to tell my troubles to
think i? ll walk down to the river that runs just south of town
i hate like h-ll when there ain? t nothin? left to do
but stand beneath the river bridge and listen for the train
it? s been a long hot summer, not a drop of rain
well, i broke down in december, i headed for the coast
i thought the wind and water would elevate my mind
i surfaced in the springtime feelin? like a ghost
missin? more than ever the things i left behind
now i? m standin? on this riverbank and still cannot explain
it? s been a long hot summer, not a drop of rain
my bag is full of letters, unopened and unread
i? m sure they? d tell the story of worry and of form
my heart is beating heavy with all we left unsaid
and i swear to you i never meant you any harm
this sacrifice and compromise could never stand the strain
it? s been a long hot summer, not a drop of rain
tonight i? ll close my eyes again, try to see your face
listen for your voice to tell me it? s alright to sleep
convince myself i? ll wake up in another time and place
knowin? all the while that it? s a promise i can? t keep
a string of broken promises, another link of chain
it? s been a long hot summer, not a drop of rain
the children on the playground, the lovers in the shade
remind me of a life and time that feels more like a dream
when the sound of love and laughter was the music that we played
as we lay beside the waters of a never ending stream
now the stream has gone to hiding, the dream lives on in vain
it? s been a long hot summer, not a drop of rain
the clouds are building slowly on the skyline to the east
the wind and dust are dancing like the devil across the lake
i could try to find a bottle or try to find a priest
salvation won? t be traveling either road i take
so i turn my collar to the wind that echoes this refrain
it? s been a long hot summer, not a drop of rain
