Two of Us Under One Umbrella

Lyrics
The rain came down on the library steps You stood there with your books held tight I had a umbrella, a little bit torn And a heart that was not quite right You said, may I walk along with you Just as far as the corner light Two of us under one umbrella Shoulders touching, step by step The whole wide city is falling in water But here it is dry and kept Two of us under one umbrella Nobody has to say That the long way round is the best way home On a grey and gentle day We talked about songs we both half knew The ones from the old canteen You hummed the tune and I found the words Like a thing we had always been The bus came by and we let it go Neither of us had to mean Two of us under one umbrella Shoulders touching, step by step The whole wide city is falling in water But here it is dry and kept Two of us under one umbrella Nobody has to say That the long way round is the best way home On a grey and gentle day And if the sky clears up for good I will still hold it high Just in case the weather turns And you are standing by Two of us under one umbrella Shoulders touching, step by step The whole wide city is falling in water But here it is dry and kept Two of us under one umbrella Nobody has to say That the long way round is the best way home On a grey and gentle day Under one umbrella Step by step, step by step
