We waited
And held our breath
And wondered
When it would come
The cat had shown
And had given us notice
That thunder would appear.
The clouds
They all rolled in
And we knew
That it would thunder
For the cat had shown
And had given us notice
That thunder would appear.
But the clouds
They came and went
And we waited
And waited in vain
But this time
The cat was wrong
For the thunder did not come.
So today
Though we thought
And believed that we knew best
Our wait
Was all in vain
For the thunder
Did not appear
It was rain, just rain
And for that we were not ashamed.
