Monsoon Avenue (έκδοση 2)

Verse 1

Cardamom steam on a chipped clay cup

Sky turns purple as the wind kicks up

Your canvas duffel by the wooden chair

First heavy raindrops in your tangled hair

Pre-Chorus

Listen to the iron awnings shake

Look at all the life this storm will wake

Are you ready to begin?

Chorus

Step out clean on Monsoon Avenue

Wash away the sorrow in the falling blue

Every road is greener when the clouds break through

I will look for morning where I parted with you

Dancing down Monsoon Avenue

Verse 2

Brass bells ringing on the market gate

Old taxi idling, it will not wait

You turn around with that easy grin

Press your warm palm to my dripping skin

Pre-Chorus

Listen to the iron awnings shake

Look at all the life this storm will wake

Are you ready to begin?

Chorus

Step out clean on Monsoon Avenue

Wash away the sorrow in the falling blue

Every road is greener when the clouds break through

I will look for morning where I parted with you

Dancing down Monsoon Avenue

Bridge

Dry ground drinking up the sky

No bitter salt left in this goodbye

The wheels will roll, the river bends

Nothing truly breaks, it only mends

Chorus

Step out clean on Monsoon Avenue

Wash away the sorrow in the falling blue

Every road is greener when the clouds break through

I will look for morning where I parted with you

Dancing down Monsoon Avenue
