In My Time of Need

Joan Baez

Transposer:

Will you comfort me in my time of need? Can you take away the pain of a hurtful deed? 'Cause when we need it most there's no rain at all And dust just settles right there on the fields Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come? When the sky can't offer none to me I will come for you when my days are through And I'll let your smile just off and carry me 'Cause when the calm comes down I'll take the truck on into town And buy whatever we can't seem to grow I work these hands till they bleed 'Cause I got mouths to feed I got fifteen dollars hid above the stove Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come? When the sky can't offer none to me I will come for you when my days are through And I'll let your smile just off and carry me 'Cause it ain't like it was oh back in those days When everyone would offer up a hand These old bones are worn I've grown tiresome And I know my time is surely gonna come Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come? When the sky can't offer none to me I will come for you when my days are through And I'll let your smile just off and carry me Lord we married young and stayed where we came from And gave those children everything we had Will you stay with me in my time of need? It seems we had such little time for us Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come? When the sky can't offer none to me I will come for you when my days are through And I'll let your smile just off and carry me

La chanson évoque un profond besoin de réconfort et de soutien en temps de difficulté. L’artiste exprime son désir d'être consolé face à la douleur et à l'épreuve qu’un manque d'espoir peut engendrer. Il parle de la fatigue du travail acharné et des responsabilités, tout en cherchant une lueur d'espoir, une promesse de jours meilleurs, malgré l'absence de pluie qui symbolise l'aide et la prospérité. Dans un contexte de vie simple, où les soucis financiers et familiaux prennent le pas, le chanteur évoque les souvenirs d'un temps où l'entraide était plus présente. Il se remémore des jours de jeunesse, pleins d’amour et de dévouement, tout en faisant face à la réalité d'une existence parfois éprouvante. Ce mélange de nostalgie et de détermination montre que, malgré les défis, il reste attaché à l'idée que le soutien et l'amour peuvent transcender les épreuves.
