Long as I remember the rain been comin' downClouds of mystery pourin' confusion on the groundGood men through the ages tryin' to find the sunAnd I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain?
I went down Virginia, seekin' shelter from the stormCaught up in the fable, I watched the tower growFive Year Plans and New Deals, wrapped in golden chainsAnd I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain?
Heard the singers playin', how we cheered for moreThe crowd had rushed together, tryin' to keep warmStill the rain kept pourin', fallin' on my earsAnd I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain?
