Lyrics
The church bell on Voortrekker Street is stuck again on three.
That heat off the tar, you put your cool palm on my knee.
The air so thick you could hold it, a weight inside the chest.

Just for now, the dry ground keeps.
[Bridge]

Just one drop, before it's late.
[Outro]
Just for now.
The river sleeps.
