Lyrics

Bus stop on a Tuesday
Sky came down in sheets
You had a yellow umbrella
And I had wet shoe feet
You tilted it my direction
Didn't say a word
Just a smile that rang like a church bell
The loudest thing I heard

Share my rain, stranger
Come on, step in close
We don't need a reason
Half the world's a ghost
Your shoulder's on my shoulder
The drops are keeping time
Share my rain, stranger
And maybe share your mind

We walked right past the bus stop
Past the diner and the bank
You said you were going nowhere
I said I'd gladly thank
The weather for its timing
And the cloud that did us right
Puddles in the headlights
Two shadows in the light

Share my rain, stranger
Come on, step in close
We don't need a reason
Half the world's a ghost
Your shoulder's on my shoulder
The drops are keeping time
Share my rain, stranger
And maybe share your mind

Maybe it's the thunder
Maybe it's the cold
But a story's starting here
That's worth being told
Hold the handle higher
Let the water run
We're two strangers getting soaked
And we're having so much fun

Share my rain, stranger
Come on, step in close
We don't need a reason
Half the world's a ghost
Your shoulder's on my shoulder
The drops are keeping time
Share my rain, stranger
And maybe share your mind

Oh, share my rain
Oh, step in close
Share my rain, stranger
Yeah, I'll hold it close
