INTRO
[Gm] [F]
S[F]treets are almost empty, the shops are all closed down.
There's [Am]not a soul left in the park to tell my toubles to.
Think I'll [Dm]walk down to the river that runs just south of town.
I hate l[Bb]ike hell when there ain't nothin' left to do,
But s[F]tand beneath the ri[C]ver bridge and l[Dm]isten f[C]or the t[Bb]rain.
It's b[Dm]een a long hot summer, n[C]ot a drop of ra[F]in.
When I b[F]roke down into simpler, I headed for the coast.
I th[Am]ought the wind and water would elevate my mind.
I su[Dm]rfaced in the springtime feelin' like a ghost,
Mi[Bb]ssin' more than ever the things I left behind.
Now I'm st[F]andin' on this ri[C]ver bak and s[Dm]till ca[C]nnot expl[Bb]ain.
It's b[Dm]een a long hot summer, n[C]ot a drop of r[F]ain.
My [F]bag is full of letters, unopened and unread.
I'm [Am]sure they tell the story of worry and reform.
My h[Dm]eart is beatin' heavy with all we left unsaid.
I s[Bb]wear to you I never meant you any harm.
The sa[F]crifice and co[C]mpromise can n[Dm]ever st[C]and the s[Bb]train.
It's b[Dm]een a long hot summer, n[C]ot a drop of r[F]ain.
To[F]night I close my eyes again and try to see your face.
L[Am]isten for your voice to tell me it's alright to sleep.
C[Dm]onvince myself I'll wake up in another time and place
Knowin' a[Bb]ll the while it's a promise I can't keep.
St[F]ring of broken pr[C]omises, a[Dm]nother l[C]ink of ch[Bb]ain.
It's b[Dm]een a long hot summer, n[C]ot a drop of r[F]ain.
The ch[F]ildren on the playground, the lovers in the shade
Re[Am]mind me of a life and time that feel more like a dream
Where the s[Dm]ound of love and laughter was the music that we played
As we l[Bb]aid beside the waters of the neverending stream.
Now the st[F]ream is gone to hi[C]ding, the d[Dm]ream lives [C]on in v[Bb]ain.
It's b[Dm]een a long hot summer, n[C]ot a drop of r[F]ain.
The cl[F]ouds are building slowly on the skyline to the east.
The w[Am]ind and dust are dancin' like the devil 'cross the lane.
I could [Dm]try to find the bottle, or try to find a priest.
Salv[Bb]ation won't be travelin' either road I take.
So I t[F]urn my collar [C]to the wind that e[Dm]chos th[C]is refr[Bb]ain...
It's b[Dm]een a long hot summer, n[C]ot a drop of r[F]ain.
