Lyrics
The sky let go at half past three No coat, no hood, no plan for me Then a black umbrella opened wide And a stranger said, step inside Shoulder close and steps in time Raindrops keeping a drumming rhyme Two strangers, one small sky Walking slowly, wondering why The rain feels like a gentle friend When you don't want the street to end Two strangers, one small sky Neither one says goodbye Let it pour, let it pour I'd walk a little more We talk of buses, tea, and shoes Of nothing much, and no one's news A puddle makes us laugh out loud We dance around it like a crowd Shoulder close and steps in time Raindrops keeping a drumming rhyme Two strangers, one small sky Walking slowly, wondering why The rain feels like a gentle friend When you don't want the street to end Two strangers, one small sky Neither one says goodbye Let it pour, let it pour I'd walk a little more Now the clouds are breaking, gold on stone But we stay under, not alone A little longer, just to see What a kind small roof can be Two strangers, one small sky Walking slowly, wondering why The rain feels like a gentle friend When you don't want the street to end Two strangers, one small sky Neither one says goodbye Let it pour, let it pour I'd walk a little more One small sky, one small sky I'd walk a little more
