The Umbrella

The story begins with an umbrella

That I forgot on the bus, just like that

We were talking, time flew like propella

Your beauty had me frozen where I sat

We kept missing our stop on the track

I don't usually carry shade

Didn't want you getting wet in the rain

That's why plans were made

But in your town, the heat was insane

Which was perfectly okay, can't complain

That umbrella I left behind, I don't really mind

If it sits alone on that seat, or someone else did find

These questions I quietly repeat

Are truly about you, I find

You're who I care for, yet can't ask straight

While you're on my mind

And if tomorrow I should die

Don't judge me by my credit card or receipt

'Cause all I wanted to try

Was love, faith, appreciation sweet

All I wanted (and still do today)

To grow old by your side

So you're not alone on holiday

To always be there to provide

With umbrella or blanket to hide

Making sure you're never cold

Oh.. Don't wanna die alone

And if tomorrow I should go

At my funeral show

Hardly anyone would appear

No statue in town square would glow

My impact was so small, I fear

And you won't be there, though I want it so

That umbrella I left behind, I don't really mind

If it sits alone on that seat, or someone else did find

These questions I quietly repeat

Are truly about you, I find

You're who I care for, yet can't ask straight

While you're on my mind

Want us to age together slow

Till the end of time

Together we'll go, no solo

No suffering left behind

How I miss you so

Damn, how I miss you

Ah.. Damn, how I miss you though!

(Damn)

That umbrella I left behind, I don't really mind

If it sits alone on that seat, or someone else did find

These questions I quietly repeat

Are truly about you, I find

You're who I care for, yet can't ask straight

While you're on my mind

And if tomorrow I should die

Don't judge me by my credit card or receipt

'Cause all I wanted to try

Was love, faith, appreciation sweet.
