World I Used to Know

(Rod McKuen)



Some day some 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

Some day 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 boundarys of your eyes.



Some day the world I used to know

Will come along and let me go

Then I'll be leaving 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...
