Rachie - WORLD'S END UMBRELLA

Rachie sang "I'm with you" instead of "you're with me" at 4:31 so I put both down.

The umbrella blocking out the sun, the sky crying on everyone
And the townspeople, all too blind, they question it not
Towards the umbrella we two faced, and you spat at it in disgrace
Yet it too went into the rain and we could say naught


Within that moment, I knew no one spoke, he felt the rain and as if provoked
He took my hand and then towards that tower
We went running


Together we'd always been and so you promised me
There is a sky that we've found but in stories, it's time that we went to see
In that moment, the rain simply seemed to go away
And so did our prior sadnesses, forgotten just the same


Climbing, we picked up our pace, up an ancient spiral staircase
Stained in black as the dripping rain repeats its echo
And I, nearly about to cry, was encouraged by you so nearby
As you gently held my hand and took me in tow


Chased down by a shadow ghostly white, countless rows of cages moved in and out of sight
Yet there was no time to search for a reason
Nor'd we want to


My hands started trembling but you could hold them still
Given such aid, I could not be afraid to protect you, my only will
Gears lurking within the darkness laugh and all seems bleak
But hey, don't you feel the gentle wind brushing past your cheek?


The white shadow chasing us stopped chasing anymore
And though it seemed sad, it started to disappear
Our surroundings smelled like rust and we were colored wholly black
But at last, murky colors turned to clear

As we kept on walking we could hear a voice call out to us
Maybe just imagined or maybe heard before
Waiting past the final step, at the far end of the hall
There was a small, ordinary door
All covered with dust, waiting here, just ignored


And beyond it, we saw almost all of everything before our eyes
Flowers in bloom in a rainbow of colors below such a vivid sky
In this captivating world, with only you and I
All that I could need was right by my side


The sky locked in storybooks you promised we would see
Now in our sight, let’s return this back to the place where it ought to be
When I turned around, you held a bunch of flowers just for me
And together we laughed, softly, on your shoulder I leaned


Waiting for us at world’s end, the umbrella is raised
As long as such a world exists, I know for sure that it will be okay
I’ll always be happy here as long as you’re with me/I'm with you


Lying down on top of the umbrella where the flowers bloomed
Faces filled with happiness that stayed there forever
Peacefully the two slept side by side together.
