Janis Ian - Days Like These lyrics

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 hollow 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 yes, I can make my peace
I can make my peace with days like these
