It was raining hard on the street
As she wandered without umbrella
She had one stolen no doubt
That morning from a friend.
Running to her rescue,
I offered her a little shelter
To dry the water from her cheeks
With a gentle whisper she said ‘Yes’.
A little corner of umbrella
Against a corner of paradise
She was something of an angel
A little corner of paradise
Against a corner of umbrella
Could this moment stay forever.
Along the way, it was tender
To hear together the pretty song
Of water from the sky falling
On the top of my umbrella.
I'd have prayed at that moment
For a never ending downfall
To keep her under my refuge
Forty days and forty nights.
A little corner of umbrella
Against a corner of paradise
She was something of an angel
A little corner of paradise
Against a corner of umbrella
Could this moment stay forever.
But sadly, even in storms
Roads eventually lead to homes
Soon her's will reach that dam
At the height of my foolishness.
She tells me that she must leave
After she kindly says many thanks
And I saw her disappear very small
Into the distance, into forgetfulness.
A little corner of umbrella
Against a corner of paradise
She was something of an angel
A little corner of paradise
Against a corner of umbrella
Could this moment stay forever.
