Love in a Time of Drought

It was dusky in December, the drought was setting in

Could see the heat haze rising off the corrugated tin

And nothing stirred out in the holding yard

She came right outta nowhere, like a summer rain

Could feel her wrap around me, her breath upon my skin

And she touched me, deep down, inside my heart

It was thunder, it was lightning

The sky opened up and love tumbled down

It was fearless, it was reckless

It was real as rain on dust

It was love in the time of drought

We watched the neon sunset, I held her body close

The western stars exploded, our loving overflowed

And we laid there, lost in each other's arms

It was thunder, it was lightning

The sky opened up and love tumbled down

It was fearless, it was reckless

It was real as rain on dust

It was love in the time of drought

(Tumbling over me)

(Tumbling over me)

It was thunder, it was lightning

The sky opened up and love tumbled down

It was fearless, it was reckless

It was real as rain on dust

It was love

In the time of drought

In the time of drought
