Feb 2022 folky melancholy storms again
Another song about the storm
Between the darkness of the morning
And the rain that’s falling hard
It’s so tempting just to stay in bed
Leave the clean-up to the coast guard
On the water there is no escape
You have to trust to higher powers
Pray your vessel is shipshape
As the waves build up like towers
We wonder at the force of nature
We marvel at its power
Still trying to live with what we have done
The rain grows stronger by the hour
We will learn our lessons
To alleviate the pain
But we are left with many questions
When will the dangers come again?
In the darkness of the morning
With the rain that’s falling hard
It’s just so tempting just to stay in bed
I’m gonna stay in bed

You weren't joking in that haiku were you? I'd stay in bed too. The song gives the feeling that it's all too inevitable and too much for the protagonist. Good stuff!
