Lyrics
Rain on the awning, I was waiting for the bus You lent me your jacket without any fuss Grey wool and a button gone Smelled of cedar, soft and warm I said, I'll bring it back, I promise Borrowed jacket, rain on the bossa Every little drop a tiny drum Borrowed jacket, I will find you Tell you thank you when the sun has come Borrowed jacket, slow and sweet Walking home on rainy feet In the pocket there's a ticket and a mint A little folded note with a gentle hint It says, Keep warm, stay kind Someone's thinking of your mind And I laugh at the stranger's tender voice Borrowed jacket, rain on the bossa Every little drop a tiny drum Borrowed jacket, I will find you Tell you thank you when the sun has come Borrowed jacket, slow and sweet Walking home on rainy feet Some people pass you by Some leave a little light And a coat becomes a song On a grey and rainy night Now I stand at the corner where we met Jacket on my arm, and the street is wet There you are, you smile Say, Stay a little while And we walk beneath the dripping evening trees Borrowed jacket, rain on the bossa Every little drop a tiny drum Borrowed jacket, I found you Said my thank you, and the sun has come Borrowed jacket, slow and sweet Walking home on rainy feet
