Lost Umbrella in July

[Verse 1] Bought you in a corner store down on Third Folded in the stand between the maps and gum Storm cloud sky Yeah the forecast hurt So I carried you home like a chosen one Two weeks later Blue sky every day You leaned by the door with the shoes and sand I said “Next big rain I’ll make you earn your pay” Then I left you there when the shower hit the land [Chorus] Now my lost umbrella in July Sits alone where the sneakers dry While I’m running through the rain Through the rain Through the rain Soaked to the bones Asking why Did I leave my little shade inside My lost umbrella in July knows my name [Verse 2] Drips on my glasses Streets all glass Bus stop crowd tucked under porches tight I laugh at myself as the taxis pass Thinking of you standing in the hallway light You were made for this Small black arc Dust on your handle Tag still tied Funny how we forget what could’ve saved our hearts Till the downpour comes and catches us outside [Chorus] Oh My lost umbrella in July Sits alone where the sneakers dry While I’m running through the rain Through the rain Through the rain Soaked to the bones Asking why Did I leave my little shade inside My lost umbrella in July knows my name
