about

The first big rain breaking through the tension of the monsoon season in the far north of Australia brings a release. The air is charged with yearning.

lyrics

Something in the air tonight
The room just has an edge
You walked in, I saw you there
As I smoked a cigarette

Bring the storm down
Lift our faces to the night
I watch you circling closer
Dance into my light

That our paths should cross again
Wild tendrils find their ground
Wet season always calls us in
Slick orange earth, dark velvet clouds

Bring the storm down
Lift our faces to the night
I watch you circle closer
Dance into my light

Na-djorra!

A soft flash on the horizon
catches the edge of our minds
and we find we're stumbling blind
into the dark

Rumbling across the velvet sky
a cracking snare calls us
calls us out to the open air

Everyone is quiet waiting for the change
Faces to the sky we're crazy for the rain

Holding
for the shift a hint of breeze
the lift of air a kiss of sweet release
Holding
our breath we close our eyes and
open our hearts to the leaden skies

Then she draws upon herself and
pours a heavy heart upon us all

Big, round, fat, bold, hot
a mirror world in every drop

The smell of new rain on dirt
fills our giddy heads

and we're all circling drinking in the rain
and we're all sparkling dancing in the rain

I sense your cedar breath
I taste your salty neck
We're turning in the rain

Hold me as we circle and
leaning back we're turning
bodies bending acquiescing
lean and wet and sweet caressing

In the rain we move together in the rain

It's our season
We can dance
