I was watching the weather reporter explain jet-streams
and I'm not sure I understood
but I think I got enough, it seems
so that my plan can go as it should.

Its been really hot here lately
the pavement burns to the touch
the western summer air is set to baking
It can evaporate a pond before lunch

I was thinking of sending you a postcard
something with trees, or the beach
but buying an impersonal picture ain't so hard
(and besides, they're $3.99 each!)

So I decided to send you my love
in a way that isn't plain
I'm sending over a tiny cloud, Love
'cuz I know that you love the rain

I'm gonna pour some water on to the ground
and if what I've learned about jet-streams is true
I'm gonna wait for it to disappear into a cloud
and watch the wind blow this straight to you
