Umbrella Man - Billy Eckstine

I need my umbrella

To hide the sun

To keep out the starlight

When day is done

Because I used to walk in the sunshine

Used to wish on the star with you

But now I’m just a frightened lost umbrella man

Don’t wanna see rainbows

That I can’t touch

Or laugh with the flowers

That meant so much

Because we used to ride on the rainbow, baby

Used to live in the flower world

The world’s the same

But now my name’s umbrella man

And though I’m supposed to care

When people stop and stare

I just go on my way

Hopin' it rains each day

I need my umbrella

So I won’t see

The beauty around me

That used to be

When I could walk with you in the sunshine, baby

Face the world as I held your hand

But it’s tucked away in yesterday

Umbrella man

When I could walk with you in the sunshine, baby

Face the world as I held your hand

But it’s tucked away in yesterday

Umbrella man

Umbrella man

Umbrella man
