It's So Different Here

You wanted me to write you a letter Here it is, it's left downriver on the boat And if these things I feel around me could reach you But 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 This afternoon we fall asleep, the people mend their nets They'll be in the boats at sunrise I watch them at their lives, they teach me much I could not tell you, not until you've seen my eyes 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 Do you still love me? You never build a conclusion With our affairs and ups and downs And now my job has brought me here Rivers still flow slowly when the land is low The mind reaps 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 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
