Santa Ana winds

When the wind decides that it's time to ride

To spread a little hell through the heartland

It takes a good long toke then it blows the smoke

Through the desert night

And the wings of fire keep climbin' higher

Flames cuttin' hard through the homeland

Takes a mighty strong will to strip the chill

From the desert night

You're wakened from your dream by a siren's scream

Trapped by the walls that surround you

Then it's will to will and you wonder still

Can you struggle free?

In a thousand ways, when you turn the phrase

The wind's like a love of a woman

It takes a mighty mean bitch, some fire witch

To set the night on fire

And the Santa Ana wind's gonna have its way, tonight

Nothing you can do's gonna change her mind

And ain't it a lot like love the way desire takes you in

And stokes the fire like the Santa Ana wind

Now the air is calm and the heart grows numb

The ashes burn low in the heartland

'Til again the wind starts closin' in

To set the night on fire

And the Santa Ana wind's blowin' cross my heart, tonight

Nothing you can do's gonna change her mind

And woman, I want your love, I need that passion deep within

Like the ragin' fire needs the Santa Ana wind

And the Santa Ana wind's gonna take your life tonight

Nothing you can do's gonna change her mind

And ain't it a lot like love, the way desire takes you in

Swept away with the Santa Ana wind
