World I Used To Know

The world I used to know

Some day some old familiar rain
Will come along and know 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 lie
And chart that hidden boundrys of your eyes

Some day the world I used to know
Will come along and bid 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

But till that day I'll be your man
And love away your troubles if I can
In the world I used to know
