Umbrella Lyrics - 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
