Umbrella

Umbrella - The Innocence Mission

I am going out now, darling

Pass me my umbrella, darling

I wear it like a crutch to the ground

Like a shade and nothing comes down on me

I walk along beside the drivers

However do they drive so bravely?

When I still hear the bang

Sudden bang in my head

And the scar runs on my face

And on my hands, they held the wheel

And on my mind it was distracted

And saved from scarring anybody else

I'm lodged between the could haves, could haves

I want you to be proud of me, proud of me, proud

And how can you be?

When I wear my umbrella like this

When I dwell on myself like this

When I need to be reassured like this

You dance around with my umbrella

You dance around the obvious weaknesses

Around the room with my umbrella

You dance around the room with me

I see us in the mirror going by look at my happy face

See what you do for me
