《Not A Drop Of Rain》歌词

[00:00:02] Not A Drop Of Rain (Live) - Robert Earl Keen

[00:00:13] Streets are almost empty shops are closed down

[00:00:17] There's not a soul left in the bar to tell my troubles to

[00:00:21] Think I'll walk down to the river that runs just south of town

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

[00:00:30] But stand beneath the river bridge and listen for the train

[00:00:39] It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain

[00:00:46] I broke down in December

[00:00:49] I headed for the coast

[00:00:51] I thought the wind and water would elevate my mind

[00:00:55] I surfaced in the springtime feelin' like a ghost

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

[00:01:04] Now I'm standin' on this riverbank and still cannot explain

[00:01:12] It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain

[00:01:20] My bag is full of letters unopened and unread

[00:01:25] I'm sure they'd tell the story of worry and of form

[00:01:29] My heart is beating heavy with all we left unsaid

[00:01:34] I swear to you I never meant you any harm

[00:01:38] But sacrifice and compromise could never stand the strain

[00:01:46] It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain

[00:01:55] Tonight I'll close my eyes again and try to see your face

[00:01:59] And listen for your voice to tell me it's alright to sleep

[00:02:03] Convince myself I'll wake up in another time and place

[00:02:08] Knowin' all the while that it's a promise I can't keep

[00:02:13] A string of broken promises another link of chain

[00:02:21] It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain

[00:02:29] The children on the playground the lovers in the shade

[00:02:33] Remind me of a life and time that feels more like a dream

[00:02:37] When the sound of love and laughter was the music that we played

[00:02:42] As we lay beside the waters of a never ending stream

[00:02:46] Now the stream has gone to hiding the dream lives on in vain

[00:02:55] It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain

[00:03:12] The clouds are building slowly on the skyline to the east

[00:03:16] The wind and dust are dancing like the devil across the lake

[00:03:21] I could try to find a bottle or try to find a priest

[00:03:25] Salvation won't be traveling either road I take

[00:03:30] So I turn my collar to the wind that echoes this refrain

[00:03:40] It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain
