As I lay by my window side, I remember the night that forecast a storm while I had already one inside!

Night of Storm
A widowed night it was
And rain came in torrents
You could only hear sighs
Like from deathbed
Flashes of lightning
Showed the darkness clear
And an approaching car light
Shredded the falling drops
As I lay by my window side
I remember the night
That forecast a storm
While I had already one inside!
