will you comfort me in my time of need?    can you take away the pain and hurtful deeds?    '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    'cause 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    we'll take the truck on into town    and buy whatever we can't seem to grow    i work these hands til they bleed    'cause 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    'cause i will come for you when my days are through    and 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    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?    'cause 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?    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    'cause i will come for you when my days are through    and i'll let your smile just off and carry me.
