As the sun fades a blues man dies and the earth turns
and thunder roars and the rain comes like nature's applause
at a life well lived and job well done
and the horizon frowns like spoiled child about to cry
and the air grows at first rosier and then dark
and the rain settles in for a good cry
and it is gone before your can count on it
and still thunder bombs as though there was something left to be said
until at last the weakest lightning flash heralds the very end
