Can you take away the pain of a hurtful deed?
'Cause when we need it most, there's no rain at all
And dust just settles right there on the feed
Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come?
When the sky can't offer none to me
I will come for you when my days are through
And I'll let your smile just off and carry me
'Cause when the calm comes down
I'll take the truck on into town
And buy whatever we can't seem to grow
I work these hands till they bleed
'Cause I got mouths to feed
I got fifteen dollars hid above the stove
Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come?
When the sky can't offer none to me
And I will come for you when my days are through
I'll let your smile just off and carry me
'Cause it ain't like it was on back in those days
When everyone would offer up their hand
These old bones are worn, I've grown tiresome
And I know my time is surely gonna come
Will you comfort me in my time of need?
Can you take away the pain and hurtful deeds?
I will come for you when my days are through
And I'll let your smile just off and carry me
Lord, we married young and stayed where we came from
And gave those children everything we had
Will you stay with me in my time of need?
It seems we had such little time for us
Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come?
When the sky can't offer none to me
And I will come for you when my days are through
And I'll let your smile just off and carry me
Will you comfort me in my time of need? Can you take away the pain of a hurtful deed? 'Cause when we need it most, there's no rain at all And dust just settles right there on the feed Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come? When the sky can't offer none to me I will come for you when my days are through And I'll let your smile just off and carry me 'Cause when the calm comes down I'll take the truck on into town And buy whatever we can't seem to grow I work these hands till they bleed 'Cause I got mouths to feed I got fifteen dollars hid above the stove Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come? When the sky can't offer none to me And I will come for you when my days are through I'll let your smile just off and carry me 'Cause it ain't like it was on back in those days When everyone would offer up their hand These old bones are worn, I've grown tiresome And I know my time is surely gonna come Will you comfort me in my time of need? Can you take away the pain and hurtful deeds? I will come for you when my days are through And I'll let your smile just off and carry me Lord, we married young and stayed where we came from And gave those children everything we had Will you stay with me in my time of need? It seems we had such little time for us Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come? When the sky can't offer none to me And I will come for you when my days are through And I'll let your smile just off and carry me Explain Request ×
