Bus Stop (G. Gouldman)
Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine.
That umbrella we employed it
By August she was mine

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shop and she would show me what she'd bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

That's the way the whole thing started
Silly but it's true
Thinking of a sweet romance
Beginning in a queue

Came the sun the ice was melting
No more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me to a vow

Break

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shop and she would show me what she'd bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella we employed it
By August, she was mine


Don't Run And Hide (L. Ransford)
Don't run and hide from the people
Don't run and hide from them all
Don't run and hide now, 'cause you're only hurting yourself

Ask me why and I'll tell you things that you never heard now
'Bout yourself what they're saying, I know that it will hurt you
Please fight back, it's important how you accept their lies now
If you run, you condemn yourself and they'll realize now

Then you'll be hurtin' me
'Cause I'm left on my own and I've got them to face

Don't run and hide from the people
Don't run and hide from them all
Don't run and hide now, 'cause you're only hurting yourself

Break

Stay with me you'll convince them all that it isn't true now
Be with me and we'll prove just how strong our love can be now
Please fight back, it's important how you accept their lies now
If you run, you condemn yourself and they'll realize now

Then you'll be hurtin' me
'Cause I'm left on my own and I've got them to face

Don't run and hide from the people
Don't run and hide from them all
Don't run and hide now, 'cause you're only hurting yourself

Don't run and hide from the people (don't run and hide)
Don't run and hide from the people (don't run and hide)
Don't run and hide from the people (don't run and hide)
Don't run and hide from the people (don't run and hide)
