Nitty Gritty Dirt Band unknown 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.
