Stormy Weather
Stormy Weather
I never noticed until today
That the wind blows south in east PA
The sun only shines between five and nine
And the rain comes in the summertime
Everyone here waits for the smell of roses
But hates the trouble the storm poses
Many trees fell down in town this May
Little children scurried to get out of the way
The shingles on houses flew through the air
And power outages were everywhere
The firemen and linemen got acquainted
But never noticed pretty houses are painted
The moon is full when the townies act crazy
And the air is thick when the sky is hazy
But I’ve got plans that will not be broken
And good ideas that are left unspoken
I sure hope the clouds aren’t coming my way
I’m betting on a bright and sunny day today
