Santa Ana Winds Lyrics

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
