The Rain

The sun was wielding firearms
At robins building nests
I layed within the sleeping arms
Of the one that I loved best

The nights were old in summers young
And the fiddlers softly played
We dived the golden river
Where the silver grasses swayed

I prayed lord I prayed
Don't take your love away
You may lay your head forever
And stay my lover stay

I hear a life must change
Just like the phases of the moon
I hear you must be leaving
On a train one afternoon

You bid me take life easy
Offered half your heart to stay
But I was so young and foolish
I threw it all away

And that train lord that train
It took my love away
The train it rolled forever
Away my lovers way

I see your arms in naked trees
But I can't tell life from dreams
I can't see my reflection
In the frozen river streams

I know just how the song will end
But I sing it all again
I hear those robins singing
And my tears they fall like rain

And the rain lord the rain
It pours through night and day
The rain it pours forever
The rain my love the rain
