WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN^©

Live 22 Sep 1984 version

One two three!

Well long as I remember, the rain's been fallin' down
Clouds of mystery fallin', confusion on the ground
Well good men through the ages, they try to find the sun
But I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain
Woah!

Well I went down Virginia, seekin' shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable, we'd watch the tower grow
Well five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains
And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain
Come on!

Heard the people playin', we ??? to call for more
The crowd had rushed together, just tryin' to keep warm
But still the rain kept fallin', fallin' through the years
And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain
Woah!

Baby I wanna know
Baby I wanna know
Baby I wanna know

The above lyrics refer to the 22 Sep 1984 performance at Civic Arena, Pittsburgh, PA, during the Born In The USA tour.
