When I was young I never feared the rain But would play around in the puddles all day You see, life through young eyes is just a game I always knew there would come the day
Then I get older and the storm drew nearer I had mouths to feed, I had bills to pay Now there's just an old face looking back in the mirror I always knew there would come the day
She always had that silly smile She could turn your darkest night to day But now she's grown up, gone to start her own life I always knew there would come the day
'Cause time's a thief, it'll break you down Leave you lyin' and bleedin' on the ground Make you wonder what it's all been worth Steal the best years then leave without a sound
Now I'm in my twilight years I watch and wait for the approachin' day In the distance he comes ridin' on the thunder I always knew there would come the day I always knew there would come the day I always knew there would come the day
