Running along the rocks of the river

And the water's as cold as the snow

The man is chasing behind me

And I can't afford to falter or slow

I find solace in what we believe

Or the hush of a cool gentle rain

But there's something we love in the mystery

Of a man in the midst of a change



She laughed and said I was going nowhere

'Cause it's nowhere that she's ever been

When I get to that place she'll remember my face

And say "Hey man, I knew him when he was younger"

But she never loved me at al



She laughed when I was in pain

'Cause there's something that we are all frightened of

In the man in the midst of a change



Out on the roof to inquire of the sky

The existence of ghosts in my life

Who's to blame you or I?

No one would answer me

They just stared with the weight of the world I pretend not to feel



The windmill is poised for the battle

But the fool understands not the game

He believes in his mission, predestined position

Amazing the grace of her name

Oh he loves her now as he loved her then

Rocinante rememebers the days

When I whistled and sat waiting patiently

With the man in the midst of a change



Running along the rocks of the river

With the freedom to step where I choose

Though I can't stop to rest I like traveling best

And besides, I've got nothing to lose from it

I find solace in all the extremes

In pleasure as well as in pain

I just wish he would let me explain to you

The man in the midst of a change
