John Prine - Blue Umbrella Lyrics

Feelings are strange
Especially when they come true
And I had a feeling
You'd be leaving soon

So I tried to rearrange
All my emotions
But it seems the same
No matter what I do.

[Chorus]
Blue umbrella
Rest upon my shoulder
Hide the pain
While the rain
Makes up my mind

Well, my feet are wet
From thinking this thing over
And it's been so long
Since I felt the warm sunshine

Just give me one good reason
And I promise I won't ask you any more
Just give me one extra season
So I can figure out the other four.

Day time
Makes me wonder why you left me
Night time
Makes me wonder what I said

Next time
Are the words I'd like to plan on
But, last time
Was the only thing you said.

[Chorus]
