Dpm

A borrowed umbrella left by the classroom door;

Dripping little secrets on a linoleum floor;

You said you'd be back before the bell could ring;

But the afternoon kept changing everything;

Now the rain taps softly on the glass;

And I'm still here watching time pass;

Borrowed umbrella;

Stay a while;

Like a memory dressed in trial;

In the corner where the shadows grow;

You there and then you had to go;

Our old umbrella;

Don't forget my name;

We were a spark inside the rain;

Your notebook's open;

Half a page of blue;

A math problem waiting;

Still missing you;

The teacher writes but

I don't hear a word;

Just the thunder humming like a song unheard;

Every puddle holds a piece of you;

In the silver light of the morning dew;

Far old umbrella, oh;

Stay a while, stay a while;

Like an emery dressed in trial, oh;

In the corner where the shadows grow;

You were there and then you had to go;

Far old umbrella;

Oh, forget my name;

We were a spark inside the rain;

Maybe summer will return again;

Dry the streets and soften the wind;

Maybe I'll laugh at how we held on tight;

To once more shelter on a stormy night;

But if the clouds come back someday;

I'll keep your echo in the hallway;

Borrowed umbrella;

Stay a while;

Like a memory dressed in trial;

In the corner where the shadows grow;

You were there and then you had to go;

Borrowed umbrella;

Don't forget my name;

Beware the spark inside the rain;

By the classroom door;

I still can see;

What you left behind is pottery;

Dripping softly into yesterday;
