[Verse 1] I held my coat with one bare hand Crossed the avenue in rain The bakery was folding shut Still warm behind its panes Your name stayed close as my red scarf And the taxi meter clicked I watched the gold in window glass Go drifting, bit by bit [Pre-Chorus] And every corner knew my steps Like I’d been there before The alley wore a perfume of Wet stone and shopfront doors [Chorus] Under the blue umbrella I remember you Under the blue umbrella The whole town slipped in two We laughed like we had time to spare And time said, “I’ll wait” Under the blue umbrella That night still tastes like rain [Verse 2] The sax from Milo’s upstairs room Spilled out above the block A drummer tapped on chipped brass chairs And kept the whole room locked You turned your head and smoothed your sleeve Like you were leaving soon But midnight sat between us both In one lit café booth [Pre-Chorus] And every mirror held your face In passing on the glass The silver spoon, the sugar dish The way the minutes passed [Chorus] Under the blue umbrella I remember you Under the blue umbrella The whole town slipped in two We laughed like we had time to spare And time said, “I’ll wait” Under the blue umbrella That night still tastes like rain [Bridge] Now the same blocks wear different names The corner lost its glow But when the horns begin to bend I’m twenty again, you know I still can hear your easy laugh Riding the night air And every borrowed, shining step Brings you back there [Chorus] Under the blue umbrella I remember you Under the blue umbrella The whole town slipped in two We laughed like we had time to spare And time said, “I’ll wait” Under the blue umbrella That night still tastes like rain
