Howard Devoto - Rainy Season lyrics

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 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 I am on fire and it's the rainy season and you're like a mirage I could learn to hate
