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 do hurry so

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
Gravestone's cheer the living dear
They're no use to the dead
