Happiness washes over me
Whenever a storm draws near
When the wind begins
My sorrow ends
And as the rainfall comes down
True inner peace is suddenly found
The cool air with the smell of rain
Washes away all the pain
I lose myself within the tempest
Within this serene escape I am encompassed
I surrender to this darkened sky paradise
Where this stormy atmosphere feels ever so nice
I don't mind if the skies turn to grey
It's the only way that will brighten my day
When the lightning and thunder pounds
This stormy song resounds
Keeping me company for however long
Hoping for long enough until this sadness is gone
This is what I wait for
For the rain to pour
Cascading down to me
Washing my mind clean
Beholding this majestic sight
Hoping it storms all through the night
