Hot And Sultry Nights testo

Man, you know it isn't easy living here
It gets so heavy on these hot and sultry nights
Can't even love your lover.
Oh, I didn't think it would be carnival
I could use a cool occasional reprieve
On these hot and sultry nights.
Here in our corner of the world
A depot on the poppy trail
We used to think we'd live for ever
Pleasures would never fail.
One sunny day they closed us down
Some men came round and burned the fields
The trade is gone
The town is dying
No one knows what to feel.
Man, you know it isn't easy living here
It gets so heavy on these hot and sultry nights
Can't even love your lover.
Oh, I didn't think it would be carnival
I could use a cool occasional reprieve
On these hot and sultry nights.
I hear a sad lamenting song
We've all grown old before our time
I watched them set the fields on fire
Crying till I was blind.
Now those who could have moved away
Left only rags and bones behind.
Nobody talks about tomorrows
Only hot and sultry nights.
(repeat first verse in Spanish)
