Lyrics
Lady Monsoon
It?s a hot Arizona summer night,
off in the distance her flashing light,
I can see her coming, she?s almost here.
She?s on her way from Mexico,
I feel the wind is starting to blow,
the sky?s growing dark but I?ve got nothing to fear.
My hair?s blown back by her raging breeze,
the temperature?s dropped by 20 degrees,
I greet her frozen rain with a smile.
Now she?s letting loose with her thunderous claps,
waking the dead from their nighttime naps,
she?s finally here, the wait is all worth while.
Lady Monsoon, you?re never too soon.
gonna ease my pain, with your cool wet rain.
Lady Monsoon, you?ll be gone soon.
she never stays, but just a few days.
She?s on top off me now, with her lightning bolts,
blasting them out at 10 million volts,
trees to ash, the forest is on fire.
My hairs on end as she lights up the sky,
don?t get too close, you?ll surely die,
I?m not scared as she grants what I desire.
It?s calming down now as she moves on past,
always so furious and always so fast
I never know when she?s coming back this way.
It could be a week or nine months long
till she comes back to scream her song,
I?ll be waiting and this is what I?ll say?.
Lady Monsoon, you?re never too soon.
gonna ease my pain, with your cool wet rain.
Lady Monsoon, you?ll be gone soon.
she never stays, but just a few days.
