WORLD I USED TO KNOW
(Rod McKuen)
Someday some old familiar rain
Will come along and know my name,
And then my shelter will be gone,
And I'll have to move along.
But 'til I do, I'll stay awhile
And track the hidden country of your smile.
Someday the man I used to be
Will come along and call on me,
And then, because I'm just a man,
You'll find my feet are made of sand.
But 'til that time, I'll tell you lies,
And charter hidden boundaries of your eyes.
Someday the world I used to know
Will come along and bid me go.
Then I'll be leavin' you behind,
For love is just a state of mind.
But 'til that day, I'll be your man,
And love away your troubles if I can.
TWO-TEN, SIX EIGHTEEN
I've been away so long,
Fought a war that's come and gone.
Doesn't anybody know my name?
My sister's up and wed,
And mama's took to bed.
Doesn't anybody know my name?
CHORUS: Please tell me if you can, what time does the train roll in?
Two-ten, Six-eighteen, Ten forty-four.
The hedge is turning brown,
And the fence is falling down.
Doesn't....
The girl I left behind
Has gone to Caroline.
Doesn't....
Fought that war across the sea.
Almost died to keep us free.
Doesn't....
Now I'm home and no one cares.
Seems that troubles are only theirs.
Doesn't....
Hope this helps, Angus.
