Patchwork Umbrella (World Lo‑Fi Oratorio)

[Verse 1] I found a patchwork umbrella At the thrift shop by the door Blue and gold and forest green Mismatched from the handle down You laughed and said, That's you Like it knew the way we bend [Pre-Chorus] And it turned in the wind Like it wanted to stay One bright shape In a gray old day [Chorus] Patchwork umbrella Hold me together Patchwork umbrella We can weather Every crooked street Every open sky Patchwork umbrella You and I [Verse 2] We walked past the bakery With the paper bag smell You held the frame a little higher When the clouds came low and mean I stole a look at your grin And the whole world slipped soft again [Pre-Chorus] And it spun in the wind Like a small loud sign Saying keep going You'll be fine [Chorus] Patchwork umbrella Hold me together Patchwork umbrella We can weather Every crooked street Every open sky Patchwork umbrella You and I [Bridge] If the day comes undone We can patch up the seams Little torn-up things Still carry big dreams Hands on the pole Feet on the ground We don't need perfect To turn around [Chorus] Patchwork umbrella Hold me together Patchwork umbrella We can weather Every crooked street Every open sky Patchwork umbrella You and I [Outro] Blue and gold and forest green Over both our heads Patchwork umbrella Till the rain cuts out
