Album: Rice, Rice, Hillman & Pedersen
It's the year of El Niño the sky it is changin'
I've lost everything and I cannot return
Thought I'd write down some words to put into rhyme
Describing the changes that work over time
I see others around me that suffer each day
And El Niño seems to have a will of its own
The rain and the twisters and the wind and the whispers
And the hail and brimstone from the air up above
Just the year of El Niño
When the wind and the rain and the heartaches and pain all move in
Just the year of El Niño
This will pass you'll be back again
Storms they keep coming in all shapes and forms
That catch you off guard we must ride out the storms
The way that I love you is deeper than the water
Of the ocean and the tide where El Niño was born
What a great time to leave me took me for a ride
Your heart was changin' as the wind and the tide
Just the year of El Niño
When the wind and the rain and the heartaches and pain all move in
Just the year of El Niño
This will pass you'll be back again
