Counting Elephants

The thunder roared thick and fast
Raindrops pouding against the glass

1 ellephants, 2 elephants...

Lightning flashes brief and quick
The strom continues every agonising tick

3 elelphants, 4 elephants...

My heart skips a beat the storms overhead
I smiled at my sister quaking under her bed

5 elephants, 6 elelphants...

It'll soon be over don't you worry
Damp ground and puddles the only reminder

7 elephants, 8 elephants...

See? It's getting further away now no need to fear
Whose to say we'll have another this year

9 elephants, 10 elephants...

The storms fading at last
No need to hide

11 elephants, 12 elephants...

See? listen to me. it can never last forever
despit how it may seem
now come out sweet silly thing we watch it end together
now that its it's almost a dream
