it won't rain

for a long time

i

sat by the river

listening

sun so hot

golden

flowers

started

browning

i picked one up and

rubbed it on my cheek

sayin'

they are like you

they are like me

stopped

broke

and splayed

on a far too hot day

and it won't rain for months

it won't rain for months

ooh

ooh

now i'm in bed

at home by myself

weeping

this place so carefully

as i had expected

full of grief

like a looking glass

i see my whole country

sayin'

they are like you

they are like me

stopped

broke

and splayed

and it won't rain for months

it won't rain for months

ooh

ooh
