Stolen Umbrellas

Clearing out your closet Of clothes you'll never wear again Throwing out mementos Of what life might have, been then But now you're moving on In ways unexpected Away from the norm We cling to the past But stolen umbrellas Won't shield us from the storm Anymore Emptying your phonebook Of friends you haven't called in so long Flowers left to whither Whilst new roots grew tall and strong Now you're finding yourself In ways never imagined And didn't dare to dream Don't cling to the past Cos stolen umbrellas Are not as safe as they seem Anymore Watching old movies Of how life used to be in the past But black and white photos Misremembered memories Don't last So now you start anew An empty scrapbook page to fill Rains will come and go And stolen umbrellas Were only built to spill Downpours
