Sometimes I use you like a shield, Cut down the rows of stinging rain. Sometimes I use you like a pillow Bury my face and I shout the pain. You're like a rainbow on a field You break the melancholy You've become a sort of sanctuary to me. You are the power that I wield. Big Umbrella Over my head Big Umbrella Cut down the rows of stinging rain And when I'm feeling kind of hollow Like a rusting hull at the bottom of Truk Lagoon And when this world gets hard to swallow And I just can't take another spoon, You're like a secret just revealed. Push out the stale air. You've become a sort of sanctuary to me. Anytime you're looking, you can find me there. You're the Big Umbrella over me. Anytime it rains.
