Santa Ana Winds |
When the wind decides that it’s time to rise |
To spread a little hell through the heartland |
It takes a good long toke then it blows the smoke |
Through the desert night — |
And the wings of fire — |
Keep climbin' higher |
See the flames cuttin' hard through the homeland |
It takes a mighty strong will to strip the chill from the desert night -- |
You’re wakened from your dream by a siren’s scream |
Trapped by the walls that surround you -- |
Then it’s will to will, and you wonder still can you struggle free? |
In a thousand ways, when you turn the phrase |
The wind’s like a love of a woman — |
It takes a mighty mean bitch -- |
Some fire witch -- |
To set the night on fire |
And the Santa Ana wind’s gonna have its way tonight |
Nothing you can do’s gonna change her mind — |
And ain’t it a lot like love the way desire takes you in — |
And stokes the fire like the Santa Ana wind |
Now the air is calm, and the heart grows numb |
The ashes burn low in the heartland |
'Til again the wind starts closin' in to set the night on fire |
And the Santa Ana wind’s blowin' cross my heart tonight |
Nothing you can do’s gonna change her mind -- |
And woman I want your love -- |
I need that passion deep within |
Like the ragin' fire needs the Santa Ana wind |
And the Santa Ana wind’s gonna take your life tonight |
Nothing you can do’s gonna change her mind -- |
And ain’t it a lot like love |
The way desire takes you in -- |
Swept away with the Santa Ana wind |
