The World I Used To Know
Rod McKuen
Someday an old familiar rain
Will come along and know my name
And then my shelter will be gone
And I'll have to move along
But till I do
I'll stay awhile
And track the hidden country of your smile
Someday the man I used to be
Will come along and call on me
And then because I'm just a man
You'll find my feet are made of sand
But till that time
I'll tell you lies
And chart the hidden bound'ries of your eyes
Someday the world I used to know
Will come along and bid me go
Then I'll be leavin' you behind
For love is just a state of mind
But till that day
I'll be your man
And love away your troubles if I can
And till that day
I'll be your man
And love away your troubles if I can
