DAYS LIKE THESE
|
(Janis Ian)
|
|
ON DAYS LIKE THESE
|
WHEN THE RAIN WON'T FALL
|
AND THE SKY IS SO DRY
|
THAT EVEN BIRDS CAN'T CALL
|
I CAN FEEL YOUR TEARS
|
DISAPPEARING IN THE AIR
|
CARRIED ON THE BREEZE
|
ON DAYS LIKE THESE
|
|
IT'S YEARS LIKE THESE
|
THAT MAKE A YOUNG MAN OLD
|
BEND HIS BACK AGAINST THE PROMISES
|
THAT LIFE SHOULD HOLD
|
THEY CAN MAKE HIM WISE
|
THEY CAN DRIVE HIM TO HIS KNEES
|
NOTHING COMES FOR FREE
|
ON DAYS LIKE THESE
|
|
BUT YOU CAN'T REAP WHAT YOU DON'T SOW
|
AND YOU CAN'T PLANT IN FALLOW GROUND
|
SO LET US FILL THIS EMPTY EARTH WITH HOPE
|
UNTIL THE RAINS COME DOWN
|
|
IN LIVES LIKE THESE
|
WHERE EVERY MOMENT COUNTS
|
I ADD UP ALL THE THINGS
|
THAT I CAN LIVE WITHOUT
|
WHEN THE ONE THING LEFT
|
IS THE BLESSING OF MY DREAMS
|
I CAN MAKE MY PEACE
|
WITH DAYS LIKE THESE
|
|
I CAN MAKE MY PEACE
|
WITH DAYS LIKE THESE
|
|
