It was raining hard on the highway
She was walking without an umbrella
I had one, stolen, no doubt
That very morning from a friend
Running then to her rescue
I offer her a bit of shelter
Drying the water from her face
In a very soft voice, she said "yes"

A little corner of an umbrella
For a corner of paradise
She had something of an angel
A little corner of paradise
For a corner of an umbrella
I wasn't losing out, by golly

Along the way, how tender it was
To hear the pretty song
That the sky's water made
On the roof of my umbrella
I would have liked, as in the flood
To see the rain fall non-stop
To keep her, under my refuge
Forty days, forty nights

A little corner of an umbrella
For a corner of paradise
She had something of an angel
A little corner of paradise
For a corner of an umbrella
I wasn't losing out, by golly

But stupidly, even in a storm
The roads lead to countries
Soon hers made a barrier
On the horizon of my madness
She had to leave me
After saying a big thank you
And I saw her, very small
Cheerfully heading towards my oblivion

A little corner of an umbrella
For a corner of paradise
She had something of an angel
A little corner of paradise
For a corner of an umbrella
I wasn't losing out, by golly
