I can't see the meaning of this life I'm leading I try to forget you as you forgot me This time there is nothing left for you to take This is goodbye Summers is miles and miles away And no one would ask me to stay And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away Close to ending it all I am drifting through the stages Of the rapture born within this loss Thoughts of death inside Tear me apart from the core of my soul Summer is miles and miles away And no one would ask me to stay And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away At times, the dark's fading slowly But it never sustains Would someone watch over me In my time of need? Summer is miles and miles away And no one would ask me to stay And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away

On the ground I lay Motionless in pain I can see my life Flashing before my eyes Did I fall asleep? Is this all a dream? Wake me up I'm living a nightmare I will not die (I will not die) I will survive I will not die I'll wait here for you I feel alive When you're beside me I will not die I'll wait here for you In my time of dying On this bed I lay Losing everything I can see my life Passing me by Was it all too much? Or just not enough? Wake me up I'm living a nightmare I will not die (I will not die) I will survive I will not die I'll wait here for you I feel alive When you're beside me I will not die I'll wait here for you In my time of dying I will not die I'll wait here for you I feel alive When you're beside me I will not die I'll wait here for you In my time of dying I will not die I'll wait here for you I will not die When you're beside me I will not die I'll wait here for you In my time of dying

Will you comfort me in my time of need Can you take away the pain of hurtful deeds 'Cause 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 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 I take the truck on into town And buy whatever we can't seem to grow I work these hands to bleed 'cause I got mouths to feed And 15 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 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 Cause I will comfort you when my days are through And Ill 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

Well, I come from Alabama with My banjo on my knee I'm goin' to Louisiana my True love for to see It rained all night the day I left The weather was bone dry And the sun so hot I froze to death Susanna, don't you cry Oh Susanna Don't you cry for me I come from Alabama with My banjo on my knee Well, I had a dream the other night When everything was still I dreamed I saw Susanna A-comin' down the hill A buckwheat cake was in her mouth A tear was in her eye I said "I'm comin' from the south Susanna, don't you cry" Oh Susanna Don't you cry for me I come from Alabama with My banjo on my knee Well, I soon will be at New Orleans and when I do arrive I'll go and find our Susanna If she is still alive And if I do not find that girl Well, I will surely die Oo, when I'm buried in my grave Susanna, don't you cry Oh Susanna Don't you cry for me I come from Alabama with My banjo on my knee

Hello love my old friend Sure is good to see you again I stood out, on the road Just a watchin' the cars A come and go I felt empty, I felt bare I really thought that I could not care All the leaves are soaking wet How succulent a little spring day gets If you kiss me once Out here in the rain We'll go back and start all over again So lift up every voice and sing Sing to the tree tops And everything Say hello love My old friend Sure is nice To see you again
