Lyrics
The sky let go outside the bakery door I had a paper bag and nothing more A stranger with a green umbrella said Come under here, it's wide enough for two We matched our steps along the puddled street Her shoulder dry, my left one soaking wet We talked about the weather and the gulls And how the rain makes everybody kind Two strangers, one umbrella, half a mile Sharing out the shelter with a smile We never asked each other's names We just kept walking through the rain Two strangers, one umbrella, half a mile The drips ran down the spokes in silver lines The traffic lights went gold and red and green She laughed when a bus threw up a wave And held the handle higher for my height Two strangers, one umbrella, half a mile Sharing out the shelter with a smile We never asked each other's names We just kept walking through the rain Two strangers, one umbrella, half a mile At the corner she turned left I turned right into the grey But the dry place on my collar Kept the kindness all the way Two strangers, one umbrella, half a mile Sharing out the shelter with a smile We never asked each other's names We just kept walking through the rain Two strangers, one umbrella, half a mile Half a mile, half a mile Under green and under rain
