1,000 Umbrellas

One-thousand umbrellas, upturned

Couldn't catch all the rain,

That drained out of my head

When you said we were over and over

I cried 'til I floated downstream,

To a town they call Misery

Uh-huh Misery, Misery, uh-huh, Misery

And one-million teacups

I'll bet couldn't hold

All the wet that fell out of my eyes

When you fell out with me

Now I'm crawling the wallpaper

That's looking more like a roadmap

To Misery, uh-huh, Misery

How can you smile and forecast

Weather's getting better

And you'll soon forget her if you let

The sunshine come through

How can you smile and forecast

Weather's getting better

If you never let a girl rain all over you

Just when I thought that

My vista was golden in hue

1000 umbrellas opened

To spoil the view

And one-million salt seas

Recalled from school atlas

So eyes could be filled to the brim

Sunny Jim couldn't jump it

How can I be pleased

When I'm handed the keys

To a town they call Misery

Uh-huh Misery, Misery, uh-huh, Misery

So with the mop and the bucket

I'll just say forget her and carry on

Sweeping up where I'd been weeping

The jester's now creeping to strike down

The newly crowned monarch of

Misery, uh-huh, Misery

How can you smile and forecast

Weather's getting better

And you'll soon forget her if you let

The sunshine come through

How can you smile and forecast

Weather's getting better

If you never let a girl rain all over you

And just when I thought

That my skies were a June-July blue

One-thousand umbrellas open

Two-thousand umbrellas open

Ten-thousand umbrellas open to spoil the view
