The Umbrella Song

(album: I'm Leaving It All Up To You - 1974)

On the poor side of town
Lives a girl no one knows
With her worn out shoes and her ragged clothes
Her mother tries to provide since her father has died
But no one even cares that she's alive

And when the rain comes down
She's never getting wet
And though the skies are grey
She'll still be smiling yet

'Cause in her eyes
There's no teardrops
In her heart
There's no pain
She's got her love as an umbrella from the rain
Oh, her love is an umbrella from the rain

On the rich side of town
Lives a boy no one knows
In his shiny shoes and his fancy clothes
He's got everything he needs
If he wants to succeed
But no one even cares that he's alive

And when the rain comes down
He's never getting wet
And though the skies are grey
He'll still be smiling yet

'Cause in his eyes
There's no teardrops
In his heart
There's no pain
He's got his love as an umbrella from the rain
Oh, his love is an umbrella from the rain

Isn't life really strange
And money can't buy all you need to get by
All around the world
There are folks no one knows
With their worn out shoes and their fancy clothes

Will they find what they're looking for
And open the door
To know that someone cares
That they're alive

And when the rain comes down
We're never getting wet
And though the skies are grey
We'll still be smiling yet

'Cause in our eyes
There's no teardrops
In our heart there's no pain
We've got our love as an umbrella from the rain
Oh, our love is an umbrella from the rain

And when the rain comes down
We're never getting wet
And though the skies are grey
We'll still be smiling yet

And when the rain comes down
We're never getting wet
And though the skies are grey
We'll still be smiling yet
