The waves crash
The lightening strikes
The thunder booms
Throughout the night
The drops splash
Against the sill
Where he sits
Quiet and still
He trails his finger
Down water streaks
His frown will linger
Watching the streets
The clouds are gathered
All grey up above
The children are scattered
Some finding new love
The houses are lit
All warm inside
But out here the cold will sit
In the rain it will hide
The umbrellas are open
Boots are put on
The woman and her children
Like a deer with her fawn
The headlights are blazing
Puddles are splashing
It is amazing
How fast it is happening
Many laugh
Many wish
Tonight some might
Share a kiss
But the boy will stay
At the sill
Where he may
Sit quiet and still
As he watches the world
With this midnight rain.
