But It Rained

Wrapped in a polythene tucked away safe in my mind

A little goodbye maybe or just a passing smile

The birds fly away to the southern sky searching a home

A bunch of paper flowers or a little boy left all alone

Can somebody hear me I'm screaming from so far away

Morning who will calm you now, the evening is eclipsed again

Well does life get any better

More yesterday than today

How I thought the sun would shine tomorrow

But it rained . . .

They justified the cause for which Daddy might give up his life

It's been so long, so long a time, still I miss Daddy at night

The ache is long gone but the never keeps staring along

The waters in the seas are high

and all the sand castles have drowned

Well does life get any better

More yesterday than today

How I thought the sun would shine tomorrow

But it rained . . .
