Wishing I Had an Umbrella |
It’s rained for forty days and forty windy nights |
In artificial light the storm has paled my skin |
And flooded out my eyes |
There needs to be a pair of every animal |
When will a miracle deliver you to me |
And set this ship to sail? |
I’m tired of waiting |
But I’m still here avoiding the puddles |
Wishing I had an umbrella |
To shelter myself from this loneliness |
My socks are soaked |
My fingers are frozen |
This is the life that I’ve chosen |
And when you’ll come back I can only guess |
I’ll be here when you do |
The crashing water drops disguise a timid knock |
I fumble with the lock and check the door again |
But no one’s ever there |
The ground has turned to mud |
The sky has turned to gray |
The night turns into day without a change in hue |
I stop and think this through |
What if I should leave tomorrow? |
What if I should harden up my heart? |
What if I should give up hoping? |
I’m hardly coping |
At last I realize a new day has begun |
When like the summer sun you blaze into the room |
And melt the clouds away |
I wonder if the light is really here to stay |
Or will you run away and never come again? |
Only time will tell |
But I promise that |
I’m all done avoiding the puddles |
With wishing I had an umbrella |
How can one separate false from true? |
The warmest sun |
The bitterest rainfall |
I want to experience it all |
There’s no need to shelter myself from you |
