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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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