Rain bent my umbrella kindly
Like it knew my name
I held the crooked handle
And walked home anyway
One side to the storm
One side to my coat
It did not fix the weather
It just helped me make it through
You said, keep it close
Even if it leans
Small things still can shelter
Small things still can mean
Rain bent my umbrella kindly
I kept it anyway
Rain bent my umbrella kindly
Just to face the day
A little crooked cover
A little worn and true
Rain bent my umbrella kindly
And I kept it for you
Now it waits by the doorframe
With a scar in the spine
Like a quiet little witness
To the worst of my time
I don't call it beautiful
But I know what it did
When the sky came down hard
It held on like I did
You said, keep it close
Even if it leans
Small things still can shelter
Small things still can mean
Rain bent my umbrella kindly
I kept it anyway
Rain bent my umbrella kindly
Just to face the day
A little crooked cover
A little worn and true
Rain bent my umbrella kindly
And I kept it for you
If the storm comes back
I won't need it to be new
I just need one small promise
To get me back to you
Let it bow, let it bruise
Let the rain have its say
Some protection is just
Staying with me all the way
Rain bent my umbrella kindly
I kept it anyway
Rain bent my umbrella kindly
Just to face the day
A little crooked cover
A little worn and true
Rain bent my umbrella kindly
And I kept it for you
