This song speaks about the difficulty to live together but also about the possibility to live in harmony.
lyrics
The rain falls down your shoulders, on your hair;
I see our reflection on the street;
All the mountains are out of sight,
Hidden by clouds.
I have to share my umbrella with you,
‘Cause I can’t change the weather
And I can’t change you.
I can’t, I can’t, I can’t cahnge you.
I can’t, I can’t, I can’t cahnge you.
No one’s on the street but us and the train,
Coming from a magic world.
I know my steps and you know yours,
Splashing fast.
I have to share my umbrella with you,
‘Cause I can’t change the weather
And I can’t change you.
I can’t, I can’t, I can’t cahnge you.
I can’t, I can’t, I can’t cahnge you.
I cannot patch, I cannot sew,
Bad habits stay as the grew.
There is nothing I can do about it
Nor can you, nor can you, nor can you.
Water falls steadily on our side,
It is better to share
than to fight.
To share, to share, to share than to fight.
To share, to share, to share than to fight.
I have to share my umbrella with you,
‘Cause I can’t change the weather
And I can’t change you.
I can’t, I can’t, I can’t cahnge you.
I can’t, I can’t, I can’t cahnge you.
