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
