MONSOON RAIN

Darling, the river
Is starting to rise
The air's getting heavy
And so are your eyes
Whistling wind in the
Sweet sugar cane
Believe it is time for the monsoon
Monsoon rain

It'll soften the day
And brighten the night
You've never seen
Such a beautiful sight
It'll soothe your soul
And wash away pain
A year's not a year til the monsoon
Monsoon rain

Um-hm
The rain is coming
I hear it humming
But it's all right
It's all right
Baby, everything is all right
You don't have to worry

Just lay yourself down
And ride it along
And I'll bring you mangos
And sing you a song
I've tied up the door
With a moonblossom chain
We'll wait for the end of the monsoon
Monsoon rain

Um hm
The rain is flying
I hear it sighing
But it's all right
It's all right
Baby, everything is all right
I'm so glad you waited
For the monsoon
Monsoon rain

BRIEF REPLIES - TEN WHEEL DRIVE



This one, too.

I'M A RIDA - 50 CENT



50 Cent sampled some TWD tune - can't remember which, 'cause I hate what he did with it - for "I'm A Rida" which he used on the soundtrack of his video game Bulletproof.

That one we got paid for. Sort of.
