Jasmine Kennedy Laura song lyrics

I met a stranger, a stranger, in the city today

and I gave her my umbrella ‘cause she had no coat on in the rain

and she smiled and she said "I thought chivalry was dead."

I just smirked, passed her by, failed to catch her eye or her name.

But I thought about her on the bus ride home

as I marveled at the raindrops that had caught on my eyelashes

tapped with an impatience though I'd nothing to be home for

just a growing irritation wishing I was braver.

And I thought of all the times I said that I would mend

find out what it was I'd lost that could make me good again

and I wandered in my hopes, got lost in my regrets

as I leant against the window and drew patterns in my breath.

But I mostly thought about her on the bus ride home

as I marveled at the raindrops that had caught on my eyelashes

tapped with an impatience though I'd nothing to be home for

just a growing irritation wishing I was braver.
