LONG AS I REMEMBER, THE RAINS BEEN COMING DOWN.

CLOUDS OF MIS’TY POURING, CONFUSION ON THE GROUND.

GOOD MEN THROUGH THE AGES, TRYING TO FINE THE SUN;

AND I WONDER, STILL I WONDER, WHO’LL STOP THE RAIN.

I WENT DOWN VIRGINIA, SEEKING SHELTER FROM THE STORM.

CAUGHT UP IN THE FABLE, I WATCHED THE TOWER GROW.

FIVE YEAR PLANS AND NEW DEALS, WRAPPED IN GOLDEN CHAINS.

AND I WONDER, STILL I WONDER, WHO’LL STOP THE RAIN.

HEARD THE SINGERS PLAYING, HOW WE CHEERED FOR MORE.

THE CROWD HAD RUSHED TOGETHER, TRYING TO KEEP WARM.

STILL THE RAIN KEPT POURING, FALLING ON MY EARS.

AND I WONDER, STILL I WONDER, WHO’LL STOP THE RAIN.
