Fold the Umbrella
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
You shake the umbrella by the door
water runs off in a line
I watch you laugh at the sudden storm
and think this moment feels like mine

[Pre-chorus]
Nobody else stops in this doorway
nobody else makes the wet street shine
so stay a minute, stay a little longer

[Chorus]
Heather, the rain can keep on falling
I've got no place I need to be
just the drip of the folded umbrellas
and you, Heather, right here with me

[Verse 2]
The step is narrow, we stand close
your sleeve is damp against my arm
nobody's rushing back out there
I like you best inside this calm

[Pre-chorus]
Nobody else stops in this doorway
nobody else makes the wet street shine
so stay a minute, stay a little longer

[Chorus]
Heather, the rain can keep on falling
I've got no place I need to be
just the drip of the folded umbrellas
and you, Heather, right here with me

[Bridge]
Some loves need the sun to prove them
ours is fine out in the grey
I'd choose this step over any weather
as long as you're the one who stays

[Chorus]
Heather, the rain can keep on falling
I've got no place I need to be
just the drip of the folded umbrellas
and you, Heather, right here with me

[Outro]
The umbrellas are folded, still dripping
and I'm still glad I stopped with you
