I knew it would never work out.
When I first said hi,
The weather man inside my head warned,
"There's a storm a'brewing, be careful."
I ignored him.
A few weeks later, we became friends.
The weather man was back,
More urgent this time
"The storm is coming in fast,
Best to take cover,
Or your chance will be past."
I fired that weather man.
A new weather man now,
He gives me a warning:
"The storm's overhead,
Take cover, now listen!"
I count the time between
Loud rolls of thunder,
And sharp streaks of lightning.
I have plenty of time, I think.
Just a bit longer.
The weather man soon calls,
"Your time is now past,
I wish you had listened!"
The rain begins to pour,
The lightening overhead.
I cower in a corner,
Why didn't I listen?
I look up to see,
Some lightning strikes ground.
It illuminates you,
Waving goodbye.
I knew it would never work,
I had all the warnings.
Oh, and I wonder,
Why didn't I listen?
Now the weather man's gone,
And so are you.
Today I still wonder,
Why didn't I listen?
