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
