Not A Drop Of Rain (不是雨滴) - Shawn Colvin (肖恩·卡文)
The streets are almost empty
The shops are all closed down
There's not a soul left in the bar
To tell my troubles to
Think I'll walk down to the river
That had just south of town
I hate like hell when there ain't nothin' left to do
But stand beneath the river bridge and listen for the train

It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain

I broke down in December headed for the coast
I thought the wind and water would elevate my mind

I surfaced in the springtime feelin' like a ghost

Missin' more than ever the things I left behind
Now I'm standin' on this riverbank and still cannot explain

It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain

My bag is full of letters unopened and unread

I'm sure they'd tell the story of worry and of form
My heart is beating heavy with all we left unsaid

I swear to you I never meant you any harm
But sacrifice and compromise could never stand the strain

It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain

Tonight I'll close my eyes again try to see your face

And listen for your voice to tell me it's all right to sleep
Convince myself I'll wake up in another time and place
Knowin' all the while that it's a promise I can't keep
A string of broken promises another link of chain

It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain

The children on the playground the lovers in the shade

Remind me of a life and time
That feels more like a dream
When the sound of love and laughter
Was the music that we played

As we lay beside the waters of a never-ending stream
Now the stream has gone to hiding
The dream lives on in vain

It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain

The clouds are building slowly on the skyline to the east
The wind and dust are dancing like the devil 'cross the lake
I could try to find a bottle or try to find a priest
Salvation won't be traveling either road I take
So I turn my collar to the wind that echoes this refrain

It's been a long hot summer not a drop of rain
