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
