Just a Passing Wind
I can just see the clouds riding along the wind
breaking formation, watch a tornado spin
Lifting up houses, then throwing them down
destroying each structure, there is to be found
smashing and crashing around
But then all the swirling just disappears
leaving some thankful and other's in tears
vowing to rebuild, although it'll take years
and hoping that everyone's found
It's just
Mother Nature playing around
Dodo dodo do Dodo dodo do
Down in the keys, the wind seems more friendly
It fills up my sails, makes my boat ride the seas
But then there's a season, the wind starts to roar
we board up our windows, nail shut every door
Hurricanes, you can't ignore
After a while, the mighty wind seem to cease
Humidity rises and so does the heat
searching for water and something to eat
Hoping that soon it'll be found
It's just
Mother Nature playing around
Dodo dodo do Dodo dodo do
Up there in the mountains, the air is so crisp
the breeze is so gentle, like Moms kiss on your lips
and then your informed, there's a fire alight
Sierra winds, have gotten strong over night
Some choose to stay or take flight
But then the wind calms and the rain starts to fall
to wash away memories, ashes and all
It's time to rebuild, should be finished by fall
I'm beginning to like how that sounds
It's just
Mother nature playing around
Dodo dodo do Dodo dodo do
