[Produced By Ethan Johns] Will you comfort me, in my time of need? Can you take away the pain of hurtful deeds? Cos when we need it most, there's no rain at all And the 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? Cos I will come for you When my days are through And I'll let your smile just off and carry me Cos when the calm comes down I take the truck on into town And buy whatever we can't seem to grow I work these hands to bleed, cos I got mouths to feed And 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? Cos I will come for you When my days are through And I'll let your smile just off and carry me
Cos it ain't like it was, on back in those days When everyone would offer up a hand These old bones are worn I've grown tired some And I know my time is surely gonna come Will you comfort me in my time of need? Can you take away the pain of hurtful deeds? Cos I will comfort 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? Though 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? Cos I will come for you When my days are through And I'll let your smile just off and carry me
