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 boundaries of your eyes

Some day 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 '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
