Half an Umbrella, Half a Hello

Lyrics

Bus stop shelter full, the sky came down
Forgot my umbrella on the other side of town
You held yours open, didn't say a word
Just tilted it my way, and I heard

Raindrops tapping like a drum on the dome
Two strangers walking, nowhere near home
Your shoulder's getting wet, but you don't mind
Leaving half of you out in the rain behind

I don't know your name yet
But I know this feeling

Half an umbrella, half a hello
Walking slow in the neon glow
Rain on the pavement, rain on my skin
Let the storm stay out, let the warm come in
Half an umbrella, half a hello
Don't want this corner to let us go

Puddles holding all the city lights
Taxi horns humming in the night
We matched our steps without a plan
Your sleeve brushed mine, my hand found your hand

You asked me where I'm headed, I said
Wherever this walk is, straight ahead
Coffee shop window, steam on the glass
I hope the rain forever lasts

I don't know your name yet
But I know this feeling

Half an umbrella, half a hello
Walking slow in the neon glow
Rain on the pavement, rain on my skin
Let the storm stay out, let the warm come in
Half an umbrella, half a hello
Don't want this corner to let us go

Thank you for the kindness of a stranger
Thank you for the shelter from the danger
Of a gray day turning into something bright
Of two umbrellas turning into one light

Half an umbrella, half a hello
Walking slow in the neon glow
Rain on the pavement, rain on my skin
Let the storm stay out, let the warm come in
Half an umbrella, half a hello
Don't want this corner to let us go

Half a hello
Half a hello
