Amery was bored, as he
|
Was usually in the countryside:
|
He'd walk alone, reciting Poe,
|
Returning home through the failing light.
|
One day, he'd gone some miles along
|
A new road, when on an old man's bad advice
|
He left to cross the woods, but just
|
Got totally lost, and then
|
|
|
The Maryland electric rainstorm broke
|
Over his head, making him wet, upset, then
|
The Maryland electric rainstorm broke everything
|
Soaked through his skin, into his heart and soul
|
|
|
Suddenly, no more trees?
|
Amery, to his great relief,
|
Could see his way through stacks of hay,
|
Through wind and rain... then surprisingly
|
He heard the song "Les Sanglots Longs
|
Des Violons" coming from nearby?
|
A female tone he did not know,
|
All husky and low...
|
While the lightning split the sky
|
|
|
"Who's there?", she cried?"Don Juan", he lied.
|
A shriek of delight came back through the rain,
|
A small white hand took his one and
|
Their friendship began
|
With the Maryland electric rainstorm high
|
Over their heads making them wet
|
Forget about the Maryland electric rainstorm
|
Breaking everything, making them clean
|
Freedom is the Maryland electric rainstorm
|
High over your heads making you wet
|
Forget about the Maryland electric rainstorm
|
Breaking everything making you clean
|
Freeing your heart and soul
|
