Summer Monsoon

In the canyon of the Western skies

he walked with aching knees

a shadow of the mayhem

that he used to be

He sat down to drink my water

but the beds they all were dry

so I rained on him

and opened up the sky

Summer monsoon, came in singing

to quench his thirst on the way

Summer monsoon, the sky was ringing

out all the mercy it could 

He crept on, his shoes were muddy

the desert spoke in whispered tones

He made it to the shores so sunny

but by that time he was just skin and bones

Summer monsoon, came in singing

to quench his thirst on the way

Summer monsoon, the sky was ringing

out all the mercy it could
