Sometime In Tutuhan

Dry season and the red dirt's flying on the baseball field

Walking from our place to the mail box

Short cut around the school yard

Ripe mango in the trees all rotting in the day's heat

Darling it's a waste if you don't eat them

Oh what a waste

Did I get a letter

Are the babies getting bigger

Is your brother feeling better

Did they send him out to sea

Are the memories expired

Are we ever gonna feel right

Nowhere to be but here

Nothing to see but me

Dry season and my head is spinning like a water wheel

Longing for the weight of a grey cloud

Short circuit on my way down

Fine weather for a drink out underneath the lemai tree

I know it's shame but I can't feel it

Oh what a shame

Did I get a letter

Are the babies getting bigger

Is your brother feeling better

Did they send him out to sea

Are the memories expired

Are we ever gonna feel right

Nowhere to be but here

Nothing to see but me

Nowhere to be but here

Nothing to see

I'm sorry if it's late

My patterns haven't changed

I heard your dad retired

I saw the flowers die

We have no future plans

The birds escaped again

Don't worry I'm still here

I've bought another year

It isn't quite the same

Since you've been gone away
