Heat, Then Rain.

All day long the heat has been building.
Shimmering over the roads and hills.
Seeping into the darkest hollows and
Building until, until the clouds are full,
Building until the clouds are filled.
With Heat, then Rain , Heat, Then Rain,
Heat, then Rain, Why can’t we just cool down?

The heat covers everything. Everyone, everywhere.
The Heat is inescapable.
It gets in your skin and it gets in your affairs,
Gets into all of your affairs .
BR)
And As I watched you walk away,
Resigned to leaving it all alone.
Regret and heat hang in the air,
How could we just let it go?
Into Heat, then Rain etc


The clouds have had just about enough.
They need to release their flood.
Sheets of heat lightning flash out a warning,
Its Time to wash all of our sins into mud,
Turn all my sin into mud.

(Rap section)
When the night is waitin like the night before
And your fever is breaking, but it’s still in your pores.
In the fire and flood of the heart and the blood
They’re all washed away, covered in clay.

Your dreams and your longings and all your belongings
And the sins of the day, are now just a stain.
And all that remains of the pleasure and pain
is your heart and your name and the heat, then the rain.

In the heat , in the night, A spark can ignite.
Like a bonfire light, like you’re doing it right.
Like a star, like a sun, like the truth on your tongue .
Like a dream on the street coming true, turning sweet.

Where the girls go up and the town goes down and the heat’s like a wolf just hangin’ around.
And the town goes up and the girls go down and the boys, like the heat, are just hangin around in the heat …

Where the heat leads, where the sweat beads,
Where the clouds meet, where the thunder repeats,
Where the heart and the feet and the floor all meet
To dance off the fever and dance off the heat.

Dance off the fever,
Dance off the heat.
