Umbrella
Dave Oakes
Walking through a field of tears
Watching the water always flow
Knowing that all the heartache there
Will never be allowed to show.
I don’t worry about being hurt
Those tears of pain will never touch me
I am covered by a beautiful umbrella
That protects me from that painful sea.
Walking along a beach covered in light
Every ray of warmth beaming from the sun
Seeing so many who have been burned
Never careful when their having their fun.
But, I will never have to worry about the heat
I will never suffer from all those burns
I am covered by a beautiful umbrella
That protects me from all those turns.
It feels so good every day when I open my eyes
To know that feeling that emanates from my heart
Knowing I will always have my umbrella by my side
Always knowing that we’ll never be apart.
