WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN^©

Live 24 Jun 1993 version

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

Well I went down Virginia, seekin' shelter from the storm
Got caught up in the fable, we watched the tower grow
Well five year plans and new deals, yeah wrapped in golden chains
Yeah and I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain
Yeah!

(Woo hoo hoo, woo hoo hoo)

Heard the singers singin', yeah how we cheered for more
The crowd had rushed together, they're just tryin' to keep warm
Yeah but still the rain kept fallin', yeah fallin' through the years
And I wonder, Lord I wonder, who'll stop the rain
Yeah!

The above lyrics refer to the 24 Jun 1993 performance at Meadowlands Arena, East Rutherford, NJ, during a Concert To Fight Hunger.
