When I was a child
|
I used to love to watch the rain
|
I'd stand under the downspout
|
Let the water cool my brain
|
I never thought to worry
|
If the river rose too high
|
That all the seeds we planted
|
Would get washed out with the tide
|
But now I am a man
|
And I need a place to hide
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
But there's nowhere to run
|
And there's no place to hide
|
Where the water runs free
|
And the mud starts to slide
|
|
When I was a young man
|
I could work through wind and rain
|
I never thought to worry
|
Had no reason to complain
|
I thought that I was standing
|
On a rock so firm and strong
|
But it was easy then to see
|
Just what was right
|
And what was wrong
|
But now I am a man
|
I won't be hanging round too long
|
|
When I was a child
|
I used to love to watch the rain
|
I'd stand under the downspout
|
Let the water cool my brain
|
I never thought to worry
|
If the river rose too high
|
And all the dreams we planted
|
Would get washed out with the tide
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Where the water runs free
|
And the mud starts to slide
|
