Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Soft and warm, a quiet storm
Quiet as when flowers talk at break of dawn
Break of dawn
A power source of tender force
Generating, radiating
Turn me on, turn them on
[Pre-Chorus]
You short-circuit all my nerves
Promising electric things
You touch me and suddenly there's rainbow rings
[Chorus]
Quiet storm
Blowin' through my life
Oh, quiet storm
Blowin' through my life
Oh, blow baby
[Verse 2]
Windy sigh
Weaken my
Butterfly caught up in a hurricane, hurricane
Lucky me, I'm better free
Suddenly I'm caught up in your somber rain (Rain)
[Pre-Chorus]
Shower me with your sweet love
I will bathe in every drop
Through all the seasons
Let it pour and never stop
[Chorus]
Quiet storm
Blowin' through my life
Through my life
You're just like a quiet storm
Blowin' through my life, through my life
Through my life, through my life
Kiss me softly
Let your lightning light my fire
[Chorus]
Quiet storm
Blowin' through my life, through my life
You're just like a quiet storm
Blowin' through my life
Blow baby, blow, baby
Quiet storm
Blowin' through my life, through my life
You're just like a quiet storm
Blowin' through my life
Blow baby, blow, baby
[Instrumental Break]
Hhmm
[Pre-Chorus]
Shower me with your sweet love
I will bathe in every drop
Through all the seasons
Let it pour and never stop
[Chorus]
Quiet storm
Blowin' through my life, through my life
You're just like a quiet storm
Blowin' through my life
Quiet storm
Your blowin'
[Outro]
Blow baby, blow
Blow baby, blow
Blow baby, blow
Blow baby, blow
