The first strike of thunder
Followed by a rush of rain

Raindrops falling
Singing a lullaby

wind is weary
Leaves fall with every gust

Dark and cold
Thunder barking through the night
Gripping the earth
Lightning scrawled on the sky

Cars and busses swaying
For the road is  a river of rain

Thoughts clinging to the past
Hopes falling thick in the blast

Behind the mass of grey
The sun still shines

Some rain must fall into each life
Some nights must be dark and cold

It's the common fate of all
