When I was a child |
|
I used to love to watch the rain |
|
I'd stand under the downspout |
|
Let the water cool my brain |
|
I never thought to worry |
|
If the river rose too high |
|
That all the seeds we planted |
|
Would get washed out with the tide |
|
But now I am a man |
|
And I need a place to hide |
|
But there's nowhere to run |
|
And there's no place to hide |
|
Where the water runs free |
|
And the mud starts to slide |
|
When I was a young man |
|
I could work through wind and rain |
|
I never thought to worry |
|
Had no reason to complain |
|
I thought that I was standing |
|
On a rock so firm and strong |
|
But it was easy then to see |
|
Just what was right |
|
And what was wrong |
|
But now I am a man |
|
I won't be hanging round too long |
|
When I was a child |
|
I used to love to watch the rain |
|
I'd stand under the downspout |
|
Let the water cool my brain |
|
I never thought to worry |
|
If the river rose too high |
|
And all the dreams we planted |
|
Would get washed out with the tide |
|
But there's nowhere to run |
|
And there's no place to hide |
|
Where the water runs free |
|
And the mud starts to slide |
|
Where the water runs free |
|
And the mud starts to slide |
