As long as I remember the rains [bad word] down.
Clouds of mystery pourin' confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, tryin' to find the sun;
And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain?

I went down Virginia, to seek shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable, we watched the tower grow.
Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain?

We heard the singer playin', and how we cheered for more.
The crowd [bad word] together, just tryin' to keep warm.
But still the rain kept fallin', fallin' on my ears.
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain
