The World I Used to Know Lyrics by Rod McKuen

Greatest Hits of Rod Mckuen

0

[Verse 1]
Some day, some old familiar rain
Will come along and know my name
Then my shelter will be gone
And I'll have to move along
[Chorus]
'Til I do, I'll stay a while
Track the hidden country of your smile
[Verse 2]
Some day, the man I used to be
Will come along and call on me
Then, because I'm just a man
You'll find my feet are made of sand
[Chorus]
'Til that time, I'll tell you lies
Chart the hidden bound'ries of your eyes
[Verse 3]
Some day 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
[Chorus]
'Til that day, I'll be your man
Love away your troubles if I can
'Til that day, I'll be your man
Love away your troubles if I can
