Creedence Clearwater Revival Lyrics - "Who'll Stop The Rain"
|
< Older | Newer >
I am old enough to remember, but to young for the experience of the Vietnam War, protest and music that change the world, but there an ironic twist to life when you hear a song that is correct, at just the correct time.
I am sitting here in the internet cafe trying to send my newsletter and suddenly the lyrics start saying,
"Who'll stop the rain?"
It just stopped raining and life is just to good, and all ok in the world, Cambodia is just ancient history now and trying to be a tourist trap, as will Iraq in a few short years. Life goes on and the rain does stop.

FOR those nostalgic people the word to
"Who'll Stop The Rain"
By Creedence Clearwater Revival Lyrics
Long as I remember
The rain been coming down
Clouds of mystery falling
Confusion on the ground
Good men through the ages
Trying to find a sun
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain
I went down Virginia
Seeking shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable
I watched the tower grow
About your plans for new year
Wrapped in golden chains
And I wonder still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain
Heard the singers playing
How I cheered for more
The crowd had rushed together
Trying to keep warm
And still the rain kept falling
falling on my head
And I wonder still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain
hmmm
I'll try, there is always hope.

I was listening to an old ccr cd and Who'll stop the rain came on. I heard that song for the fist timeIn Sydney on R&R from Nam. It really choked me up that first time and still hits a raw chord everytime I hear it. I decided to ceck out the lyrics and here I am. I was in Cambodia in 1970. I guess the rain will never stop for some of us.Mar 70-71 RVN US Naval Advisor
