"Monsoon Season" [Lyrics]

Grew up in the desert, love when it rains
Forget how to drive ‘til you hydroplane
Over rainbows reflected in the oil stains
Short-lived as the monsoon months

With sawtooth horizons in every direction
And swimming pools deep as the poolman’s reflections
On whether to leave or to keep counting blessings
For now just pack up the truck

Let the freeway carry you and the doubt you hold
Let the street signs answer you when the rain clouds don’t
Let the light refracted in the dust of a sunset teach your heart to trust
That the questions are all you need to know

Lying in the dark and lost in tomorrow
Trying to bargain with what is just borrowed
It’s kicking the pricks of the backyard saguaro
That’ll outlive us all one day

‘Cause this town is a grid that goes on pretending
That nothing is hidden as the canyon goes bending
‘Round a river that’s thin but never relenting
It’s always finding a way

So let the river carry you past the fake grass lawns
Let the wind deliver you from these safe tract homes
Let the thunder leave you insecure as the flash floods prove there’s more to learn
But the questions are all you need to know

And the kids in the parking lot are trying to escape
On the wings of a party drug that gives only to take
As coyotes in the desert wash jump in on the refrain
Screaming out another song but saying the same thing
They are screaming out another song but saying the same thing

Let the monsoon carry you to the summer’s close
Let the dawn moon rise for you when your spirit won’t
May you touch the light we cannot see, just enough to let your heart believe
That the questions are all you need to know
Yeah, the questions are all you need to know
