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
