• I asked the rain to stop today
    to see if it would oblige
    To stop pounding on the window,
    And saturating our lives.

    I asked the rain to stop today,
    with my umbrella held tight,
    I pleaded with the mighty rain,
    Until the dead of night.

    I asked the rain to stop today,
    to get a little relief,
    I asked that rain to stop today,
    but it kept coming down in sheets.

    I begged the rain to cease today,
    I begged on hand and knee,
    I waited for the rain’s reply
    But it only dampened me.

    Dripping, cold, damp, and tired,
    I walked into the night.
    I was so upset at the stubborn rain,
    I didn’t see the lights.

    Bleeding, Lying, Dripping, Dying,
    A rag doll in the street.
    I asked the rain to stop today...
