The Red Umbrella

Lyrics

Beyond the railing There lived a lady plain (With a bitter man in her way) She dreamed in colors Her isolation gray (Sure to carry her to the grave) Is she gonna pull herself together? Is she gonna weather him today? (Is she gonna weather? Is she gonna weather? Is she gonna weather him today?) Who's she gonna follow? Is she gonna grovel in her sorrow? But tomorrow Will be a brighter day When the bell rings To take her little blues away They've been waiting Congregating All the people sayin' "Hey, okay If you want to break away Would you follow the red umbrella? When you can't take another lonely day Another day And you want to run away Follow the red umbrella The red umbrella in the rain" (Hey hey) She leaves the stable They make her angel face (Put a ruby into her lace) No competition Nobody left to race (In a party you know your place) Pushing through the Unassuming masses Selling bloody passes to the play (Selling bloody passes Selling bloody passes Selling bloody passes to the play) Are they gonna follow? Are they gonna see the new tomorrow? And the arrows Go shooting through the rain And the gallows Are hardly twenty steps away An eraser to replace her All the people sayin' "Hey, okay If you want to break away Would you follow the red umbrella? When you can't take another lonely day Another day If you want to run away Follow the red umbrella The red umbrella in the rain" "Hey, okay If you want to break away Follow the red umbrella Another day If you want to run away Follow the red umbrella Red umbrella in the rain" Umbrella in the rain Umbrella in the rain Umbrella in the rain Umbrella in the rain Umbrella in the rain Umbrella in the rain
