nitty gritty dirt band – 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.
