Buy For Me The Rain |
Buy for me the rain, my darling, buy for me the rain; |
Buy for me the crystal pools that fall upon the plain. |
And I’ll buy for you a rainbow and a million pots of gold. |
Buy it for me now, babe, before I am too old. |
Buy for me the sun, my darling, buy for me the sun; |
Buy for me the light that falls when day has just begun. |
And I’ll buy for you a shadow to protect you from the day. |
Buy it for me now, babe, before I go away. |
Buy for me the robin, darling, buy for me the wing; |
Buy for me a sparrow, almost any flying thing. |
And I’ll buy for you a tree, my love, where a robin’s nest may grow. |
Buy it for me now, babe, the years all hurry so. |
I cannot buy you happiness, I cannot by you years; |
I cannot buy you happiness, in place of all the tears. |
But I can buy for you a gravestone, to lay behind your head. |
Gravestones cheer the living, dear, they’re no use to the dead. |
