Lyrics
World I Used To Know
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 use 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 charter hidden
Bound'ries of your eyes.
Some day the world i use 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.
And 'till that day i'll be your man and love away your troubles
If i can.
