Buy For Me The Rain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 (I am too old) [Verse 2] 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 (I go away) [Verse 3] 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 (They hurry so) [Verse 4] I cannot buy you happiness, I cannot buy 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 (No use to the dead)
