Can you tell me when the rains will be ending

Can you tell me when the clouds will blow away

Could you tell me when my love will be returning

Or do you think my love has gone to stay



Once my days were filled with happy sunshine

At night we'd watch the stars come out to play

But now the clouds have covered up my rainbows since the one I love has gone away

So can you tell me...

[ el.banjo ]

Since she left my world's been dark and lonely

Sometimes it's hard to tell the night from day

Lord I'd give a part of my share in heaven

Just to see the one I love come home to stay

So can you tell me...

Oh tell me that my love's not gone to stay
