Rusting In The Rain

(album: Stay Awhile - 1965)

The old gate is rusting in the rain
Children, coming home from school, no longer skim their pebbles on the old town creek
That just around the bend becomes a pool

And we've all grown older
Come see where we have been out here rusting in the rain

The old house is creaking in the rain
Lovers, coming down the hill, no longer stop to linger by the old dead tree
They took away for lumber to the mill

And we've all grown older
Come see where we have been out here rusting in the rain

And we've all grown older
Come see where we have been out here rusting in the rain

The old world is dying in the rain
The summer coming, every year, no longer stops to wonder as it goes along its way
Did anybody ever leave here?

And we've all grown older
Come see where we have been out here rusting in the rain

And we've all grown older
Come see where we have been out here rusting in the rain
