Umbrella

I had a great job I had a pretty girl I was moving up Slowly in this world Had a good position In the factory And was working For a very good salary Then comes the war And things got tough They close the factory And at home it got rough I thought that her love Was my umbrella And when there’s bad weather In her arms I would shelter And umbrella can do a lot When you are in the rain It can keep you dry Until the sun comes out again For me it seems like hard times Had just began to pour And my pretty umbrella Had holes I never seen before The fancy dinners we had Now become burger king And I guess she never love me Just the gifts I would bring And I brought home a pizza And she didn’t take a slice And when I try to hug her Her arms were cold as ice One day she went out And she never came back And when I look in the closet She took every last rack But what can I do Sure I’m not the only one Who lost their job? And their woman was gone Always know I had an umbrella Now I don’t know what to say When comes the rain She just up an flew away But I know the time will change And so will the weather And one day there will be some one Who wants me to be their umbrella?
