It's So Different Here

You wanted me to write you a letter,
Here it is, it's left down river on the boat
As 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 on their boats at sunrise
I watch them at their lives, they teach me much,
I could not tell you moot, 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
Of 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
