As long as I remember, the rains [bad word] down, 
Clouds and mystery falling, confusion on the ground, 
Good men through ages, tried to find 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 go, 
About your plans for new year, wrapped in golden chains, 
And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain? 

Heard the singers playing, I would chant for more, 
Drowning with [bad word] together, trying to keep warm, 
Still the rain kept falling, falling on my head, 
And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain?
