Streets are almost empty,
shops are all closed down

There's not a soul left in the
bar to tell my troubles to

ain't nothin' left to do

But stand beneath the river bridge

Well, I broke down in December,
I headed for the coast

I thought the wind and water
would elevate my mind

feelin' like a ghost

Missin' more than ever
the things I left behind

My bag is full of letters, unopened
and unread

Listen for your voice to tell me

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

the dream lives on in vain

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
F

So I turn my collar to the wind that
Dm

echoes this refrain
Dm

It's been a long hot summer,
C
F
not a drop of rain
