Farewell Reel

This little song is for Fred
It's G, C, D, and D minor

It's been a hard time
And when it rains, it rains on me
The sky just opens and when it rains, it pours

I walk alone, assaulted it seems
By tears from Heaven
And darling, I can't help
Thinking those tears are yours

Our wild love came from above and wilder still
Is the wind that howls
Like a voice that knows it's gone
'Cause darling, you died, and well, I cried
But I'll get by
Salute our love, and send you a smile, and move on

So darling, farewell
All will be well
And then, all will be fine
The children will rise, strong, and happy, be sure

'Cause your love flows
And the corn still grows
And God only knows
We're only given
As much as the heart can endure

But I don't know why
But when it rains, it rains on me
The sky just opens and when it rains, it pours

But I look up
And a rainbow appears
Like a smile from heaven
And darling, I can't
Help thinking that smile is yours
