Lyrics The Kingston Trio

The Kingston Trio

The World I Used to Know

Some day 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 'till I do I'll stay awhile

And track the hidden country of your smile.

Some day 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 'till that time I'll tell you lies

And chart the hidden bound'ries of your eyes.

Some day the world I used to know

Will come along and bid me go.

Then I'll be leaving you behind

For love is just a state of mind.

But 'till that day I'll be your man

And love away your troubles if I can.

But 'till that day I'll be your man

And love away your troubles if I can.
