Days Like These

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 desappearing 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 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
