Can You Smell The Rain Brion' O Neil
We step onto this desert land that used to be
so far away
doing it to free us from the same old kind of day
as we move further on, we can't believe the differences all around
it's like nothing else in our lives that we've ever found
chorus text
the storm is getting closer, can you smell the rain
thunder's cracking in our ears, can you feel the pain
I hear when it rains it comes down so very hard
a thirst that must be quenched on this dessert yard
dark clouds on the horizon, it seems to vanish the terrain
the dessert wind is picking up, can you smell the rain
wild boars' screaming on a rampage feast
wolves are closing in to kill the beast
these sounds are in the distance, but seem so loud and clear
tranquility's setting in to take away the fear
as the sun and bedrolls are down in the heat of this August night
the crosswinds are blowing, bringing in the scent of tomorrows delight
the scarlet sunrise drapes us in the morning as we rise
and the heat is turning up too early, not to our suprise
repeat chorus
then we notice our shadows starting to disappear
the sun is vanishing to get some relief out here
the mountains are blending into the clouds of marble black
winds' are coming up, no time for turning back
now the rains' pouring out, flooding all around
no place in this land for seeking higher ground
then the parting clouds showed the sun to burn away the rain
to venture on this desert land, we're moving on again
repeat chorus
