Rain

[[Verse 1]]
The lights are all on, though it’s past midday.
There are no more indoor games we can play.
No one can think of anything to say,
It rained all yesterday, it’s raining today.
It’s grey outside, inside me it’s grey.

[[Verse 2]]
I stare out of the window, fist under my chin,
The gutter leaks drips on the lid of the dustbin,
When they say ‘cheer up’, I manage a grin,
I draw a fish on the glass with a sail-sized fin,
It’s sodden outside, and I’m damp within.

[[Verse 3]]
Matches, bubbles and papers pour into the drains,
Clouds smother the sad laments from the trains,
Grandad says it brings on his rheumatic pains,
The moisture’s got right inside of my brains,
It’s raining outside, inside me it rains.
