Buy for Me The Rain Lyrics

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
