About Red Umbrella

"Red Umbrella" is a song recorded by American country music singer Faith Hill. It was released in September 2007 as the second single from her compilation album The Hits. Hill debuted the song on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in early September. It was her twenty-ninth single release to country radio, and in late 2007, the song reached a peak of number 28 on the Billboard country charts. It was by Brad Warren, Brett Warren, Aimee Mayo and Chris Lindsey. Red is a color of beauty and an umbrella is the resistance to sky's and humans' attacks. It symbolizes protection from the abuse sex workers are subjected by the police, pimps, customers, and an ignorant and biased society.

Sometimes life can get a little dark
I'm sure I've got bruises on my heart
Here come the black clouds full of pain
Yeah, you can break away without the chains

Your love is like a red umbrella
Walk the streets like Cinderella
Everyone can see it on my face

[Chorus:]
So let it rain
It's pourin' all around
Let it fall
No it ain't gonna drown me
After all
I'm gonna be okay
So let it rain

You can wear your sorrow like an old raincoat
You can save your tears in a bottle made of gold
But the glitter on the sidewalk always shines
Yeah, even God needs to cry sometimes

Your love is like a red umbrella
Always there to make me better
When my broken dreams
Are fallin' from the sky

[Chorus]

Let it wash my tears away
Tomorrow's another day
Yeah

[Chorus]
