Behind the railing there lived a lady plain With a bitter man in her way She dreamed in colors, her isolation grey Sure to carry her to the grave Is she gonna pull herself together Is she gonna weather him today Who's she gonna follow - is she gonna grovel in her sorrow But tomorrow with be a brighter day When the bell rings to take her little blues away They've been waiting - congregating All the people saying: "Hey, OK, if you want to break away Follow The Red Umbrella When you can't take another lonely day Another day - and you want to run away Follow The Red Umbrella - The Red Umbrella in the rain" She's leaves the stable They make her "Angel Face" Put a ruby into her lace No competition - nobody left to race In a party you know your place Pushing through the unassuming masses Selling bloody passes to the play Are they gonna follow? Are they gonna see the new tomorrow And the arrows go shooting through the rain And the gallows are hardly twenty steps away An eraser to replace her All the people saying "Hey, OK, if you want to break away Follow The Red Umbrella When you can't take another lonely day Another day - and you want to run away Follow The Red Umbrella - The Red Umbrella in the rain"
