Rainy Season (2007 Digital Remaster)

Rainy Season (2007 Digital Remaster) - Howard Devoto

Was it really only yesterday

When you left in such a rush

And the falling cliffs filled the bay

I used to know this place

I used to know your name

My skin remembers

I am on fire

And it's the rainy season

In this desert

You made me create

I am on fire

And it's the rainy season

And you're like a mirage

I could learn to hate

The future's missing here

On some coral reef

You called me all the names

Under the sun

In your sleep

Stirring the blue-grey waves

I'm steady as she goes

My brain's a leaky boat

My brain's a leaky boat

I am on fire

And it's the rainy season

In this desert

You made me create

I am on fire

And it's the rainy season

And you're like a mirage

I could learn to hate

You had broken my heart already

I'd just seen you across the room

I made up my mind

Five feet into the flames

To pray for the break of the monsoon

For the break of the monsoon

I pray for the break of the monsoon

I think I'm coming down with something new

I'm running errands for your friends I hardly know

I used to know this place

I used to know your name

My skin remembers

And I am on fire

And it's the rainy season

In this desert

You made me create

You made me create

I am on fire

And it's the rainy season

And you're like a mirage

I could learn to hate
