And The Rain Came Down (But The Sun Came Out)

And the rain came down

everything was hell

never saw that it was coming

no one rang the warning bell

And the rain came down

in torrents and in sheets

chocolate muddy water

filled up all the streets

And the rain came down

washed away the homes

the rivers left their banks

and found new ways to roam

And the rain came down

neighborhoods were gone

so many people stranded

livestock left without a barn

And the rain came down

flooded streets were closed

the destruction so massive

no one had supposed

And the rain is gone

streets are drying up

people helping people

things are looking up

And the sun came out

drying all the mud

but lots of clean up left

from this massive flood

I've had the chorus to that Travelling Wilburys' song (Tweeter and the Monkey Man) stuck in my head for over a week. The chorus goes:

And the walls came down 

all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing

Never saw them when they fell

The poem kinda comes from there.
