1000 Umbrellas

Printer Friendly Version
One thousand umbrellas
Upturned couldn’t catch all the rain
That drained out of my head
When you said we were
Over and over I cried
’til I floated downstream
To a town they call
Misery oh oh misery
Misery oh oh misery

And one million teacups
I bet couldn’t hold all the wet
That fell out of my eyes
When you fell out with me
Now I’m crawling the wallpaper
That’s looking more like a roadmap
To misery oh oh misery

How can you smile and forecast
Weather’s getting better
And you’ll soon forget her
If you let the sunshine come through
How can you smile and forecast
Weather’s getting better
If you never let a girl rain all over you
And just when I thought that my vista was golden in hue
One thousand umbrellas opened to spoil the view

One million salt seas
Recalled from school atlas
Alas would be filled to the brim
Sunny jim couldn’t jump it
How can I be pleased
When I’m handed the keys
To a town they call misery
Oh oh misery

So with a mop and a bucket
I’ll just say forget her
And carry on sweeping up
Where I’ve been weeping
The jesters will creep in
To strike down the newly crowned monarch
Of misery oh oh misery

How can you smile and forecast
Weather’s getting better
And you’ll soon forget her
If you let the sunshine come through
How can you smile and forecast
Weather’s getting better
If you never let a girl rain all over you
Just when I thought that my skies were a june july blue
One thousand umbrellas opened
Two thousand umbrellas opened
Ten thousand umbrellas opened to spoil the view
