Intro
Verse 1
Will you comfort me in my time of need
Take away the pain and hurtful deed
Cause when we need it most there's no rain at all
The dust just settles right there on the field
Chorus
Will you say to me, little rain's gon' come
When the sky can't offer none to me
Cause I will comfort you when my days are through
And I'll let your smile just off and carry me
Cause when the calm comes down
I take the truck on into town
And buy whatever we can't seem to grow
Work these hands to bleed
Cause I got mouths to feed
And I got fifteen dollars hid above the stove
Chorus
Verse
Cause 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 son
I know my time is surely gonna come
Chorus
Verse
Lord we married young
Stayed where we come from
And gave those children everything we had
(chorus chords)
Will you stay with me
In my time of need
Though it seems we had such little time for love
