《Not A Drop Of Rain》歌词

[00:00:02] Not A Drop Of Rain - Shawn Colvin

[00:00:10] The streets are almost empty

[00:00:13] The shops are all closed down

[00:00:16] There's not a soul left in the bar

[00:00:18] To tell my troubles to

[00:00:21] Think I'll walk down to the river

[00:00:24] That had just south of town

[00:00:26] I hate like hell when there ain't nothin' left to do

[00:00:31] But stand beneath the river bridge and listen for the train

[00:00:41] It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain

[00:00:50] I broke down in December headed for the coast

[00:00:56] I thought the wind and water would elevate my mind

[00:01:01] I surfaced in the springtime feelin' like a ghost

[00:01:07] Missin' more than ever the things I left behind

[00:01:12] Now I'm standin' on this riverbank and still cannot explain

[00:01:22] It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain

[00:01:32] My bag is full of letters unopened and unread

[00:01:37] I'm sure they'd tell the story of worry and of form

[00:01:42] My heart is beating heavy with all we left unsaid

[00:01:48] I swear to you I never meant you any harm

[00:01:53] But sacrifice and compromise could never stand the strain

[00:02:03] It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain

[00:02:13] Tonight I'll close my eyes again try to see your face

[00:02:19] And listen for your voice to tell me it's all right to sleep

[00:02:24] Convince myself I'll wake up in another time and place

[00:02:30] Knowin' all the while that it's a promise I can't keep

[00:02:35] A string of broken promises another link of chain

[00:02:45] It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain

[00:02:54] The children on the playground the lovers in the shade

[00:03:00] Remind me of a life and time

[00:03:03] That feels more like a dream

[00:03:05] When the sound of love and laughter

[00:03:08] Was the music that we played

[00:03:11] As we lay beside the waters of a never-ending stream

[00:03:16] Now the stream has gone to hiding

[00:03:20] The dream lives on in vain

[00:03:26] It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain

[00:03:40] The clouds are building slowly on the skyline to the east

[00:03:46] The wind and dust are dancing like the devil 'cross the lake

[00:03:51] I could try to find a bottle or try to find a priest

[00:03:56] Salvation won't be traveling either road I take

[00:04:02] So I turn my collar to the wind that echoes this refrain

[00:04:15] It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain
