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 the rainbow
And a million pots of gold
Buy it for me now babe, before I am too old
(I am too o-o-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
(I go away -ay-ay)

Buy for me the robin darling buy for me the wing
Buy for me a sparrow or most any flying thing
And I'll buy for you a tree my love
Where robin's nests my grow
Buy it for me now babe, the years all hurry so
(They hurry so-o-o)

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 de eh ead)
