Stolen Umbrellas Songtext

von Scott Lucas & The Married Men

Riding on a wire like a secret sent
Now all I wanna do is pay the rent to you now
And give you all your due

I clipped a last name from mine last night
Out of my heart and out of sight for all eyes
Now there's just a space for you

I can barely make it home walking down this street
Tripping on all the cracks underneath my feet
But I would never mind it as long as you lived with me

Stolen umbrellas and cowboy boots
An altar full of things left by you
It's all I have to show that you were here

I'll take this communion until things turn black
A glass of Robitussin with a whiskey back
And still I can't make the world disappear

I can barely even dream of the idea of sleep
But I would slumber for forever
If only you lived with me
I could stand myself much better if only you lived with me

I can barely make it home walking down my street
Bean bags falling like hail all around my feet
But I would never mind it as long as you lived with me

A train coming down the tracks
Over our bed is the sweetest sound
The rain pouring through the cracks
Down on our head, I wanna drown

A wind, stronger than a draft
Blowing through the house, keeps me safe and warm
The paint, old and drab
Tear down the walls, sleep in the storm

A train coming down the tracks
Over our bed is the sweetest sound
