Long as I remember 
The rain been comin' down.
Clouds of myst'ry 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, 
Seekin' shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable, 
I 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.

Heard the singers playin', 
How we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together, 
Tryin' to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pourin', 
Fallin' on my ears.
And I wonder, 
Still I wonder 
Who'll stop the rain.
