Buy for Me The Rain — текст песни (nitty gritty dirt band)

Buy for me the rain, my darling, buy for me the rain;

Buy for me the crystal pools that fall upon the plain.

And Ill 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 Ill 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 Ill buy for you a tree, my love, where a robins 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, theyre no use to the dead.
