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
