RAIN COMES
On this raining day
That started since may
I saw you wash away
The earth and dirty tray
Busy rain flows down the road
Umbrellas on our heads becoming loads
And all around i head you pass
Like ladies skirt across the grass
Empty streets like the fall of troy
Living lazy fools on their bed to toy
O its raining all day long
O rain that sings obnoxious song
I felt your cold and i heard you call
Though not welcome by all
But cherish in the Saharan desert
Where it rains the farmers heart
