Battered Rain

i sit on the steps just awaiting you to arrive i'm in thought of your pleasure to cleanse the earth and wash all the hell away it's gloomy it's damp the thunder began to roam over my soul it's nature i'm loved however i see your greed as your wind blows on homes knocking the dove right out of the tree it's heaven it's god you chased the sun away flashes of lightening covers the sky you showered across town now you're back waiting on me to hang out the fresh laundry or perhaps go get a new hair do well i won't i'll just sit here until you're done with all this mass construction you call nature oh yes i'll pick up the furniture and glass and search for the dog after you pass you are gonna pass are't you or will you come inside this time like you did the kings across the street ripping off their roof just to take a peek i'll get an umbrella
