Live 23 Jul 2012 version
[Spoken intro:] We're sorry we're a little late. We were waiting for everybody to get in. (Addressing Roy Bittan) Go ahead.
Long as I remember the rain's been coming down
Clouds of mystery pouring, yeah confusion on the ground
Well good men through the ages, they try to find the sun
And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain
Yeah went down Virginia seeking shelter from the storm
I caught up in the fable, yeah we'd watch the tower grow
Yeah five year plans and new deals, well wrapped in golden chains
And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain
Heard the singers playing, yeah the crowd cheered for more
The crowd they'd rush together, yeah trying to keep warm
Still the rain kept falling, falling through the years
And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain
[Spoken outro:] Good evening Bergen.
The above lyrics are for the live 23 Jul 2012 performance of WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN at Koengen in Bergen, Norway, during the Wrecking Ball Tour. The song was the show opener and was played in a unique arrangement featuring Springsteen on vocals (without a guitar) accompanied only by Roy Bittan on piano.
