Lyrics:
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 use 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 boundaries of your eyes

Some day the world I use 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

In the world I used to know
