i always come out when its rainy and gray,
when the sun turns it back on any old day,
i never see color, it's always the same
in fact i don't think i even know their names!

people spin me and twirl me, making me sick
and laugh cause my skin is shiny and slick
and oh i am sad that i cant see the sun!
being an umbrella is not any fun!

mud splashes all over and im left in the cold
people grip me too tightly, afraid theyll lose hold.
and sometimes it happens, yes even to me,
they place me to dry and forget so completely!

being an umbrella is not any fun
i never see color or even the sun
but i guess its ok, since i keep people dry
but im always left wondering why the sky has to cry

shelter me here flower
under your beading petals
from the tears
and harsh light
i need your shadow of discretion
a place for introspection
modesty
behind your colorful veil
is my peace
