G G/C C
Sing to me sweetly as I turn sour, Lay Me Down remembering
C D D/G D G
That the wind and the rain played a part in that dreadful hour.
G G/C C
And so as I pass I too feel the power, laying here under the trees
C D D/G D G
Where three days before I danced in a summer shower.
Chorus:

Em G D
And she said there look through the trees, the sun always shines
C9
Always ontime.
Em G D C9
There rest on your knees and in a prayer, follow me there.

This is a beautiful song from a group from my hometown of
Raleigh, NC. It is rumored to be about a young boy who
fell while riding his bike and landed in a deep ditch. A big rain came
and because he broke both of his legs, he could not get up from
the ditch and so the young boy drowned.
