Rainy Day Blues

Thunder greets me this Monday morning
 As a storm was aborning
 From this gloom I take my cues
 Leaving me with rainy day blues

  A feeling of deja vu  I can't ignore
 I've seen this gloomy day before
 Melancholy thoughts are what I choose
 Leaving me with Monday morning blues

 My thoughts float in the clouds above
 Of one night stands misconstrued as love
 Precipitation from the sky now spews
 Leaving me with the rainy day blues

Congrats on your win, Joseph. I love these 2 lines the most: "A feeling of deja vu I can't ignore I've seen this gloomy day before"

Congrats on your win Joseph. Your last verse sums up the regrets of a lot of people. But 'not to worry', as they say in Australia, live for the present with No Regrets - looking forward towards the future - A lovely write Joseph and I commend you...Maria
