Umbrellas

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm walking down the street in the rain My umbrella high above my head High above my head (High above my head) [Verse 2] Puddles along the wet sidewalks and gutters Rain lightly falling from the sky Lightly falling from the sky (Lightly falling from the sky) [Verse 3] Red and green and free design Umbrellas are in bloom Nourished by the rain (Nourished by the rain) [Verse 1] I'm walking down the street in the rain My umbrella high above my head High above my head (High above my head) [Bridge] Through the clouds, the blackness and rain I see the lightning strike as though it were pain Rain falling hard on a sea of umbrellas A colorful bottomless ocean Then the wind it blows and it blows I see the umbrellas bend, they creak and they groan Gusting down alleys and through streets of cars Causing unbottled, unspent commotion [Interlude] [Bridge] I spy a patch of blue through a cloud A patch of blue through a brandy shroud [Outro] Hopefully umbrellas hide and shrink and close As the noonday sun peeps through the clouds
