It’s Raining Today

It’s raining today, I’ll stay in my room
Quiet Oliver, the clouds will break soon
But I must confess, I’ll be glad if they stay
I don’t want to leave
It’s raining today!
Here and then gone
Invisible dawn
All of the edges are frayed
No warmth on my shoulders, the weather’s gettin’ colder
Zephyr winds carry old worries away.
My hat’s on the porch, it’s heavy and soaked
I’m on the steps and I don’t have a coat.
What do I do? What can I say?
It’s raining today!
The gardening crew all can sleep in
Local joggers and walkers, too.
I want it done but I’ll have to wait
I can’t get to work
It’s raining today!
It’s raining today!
What does it mean?
Probably not much of anything!
Still I can’t resist to let my thoughts stray
What harm will it do?
It’s raining today!
Here and then gone
Invisible dawn
All of the edges are frayed
No warmth on my shoulders, the weather’s gettin’ colder
Zephyr winds carry these old worries away
My hat’s on the porch, it’s heavy and soaked
I’m on the steps and I don’t have a coat
What do I do? What can I say?
Its raining. Today.
