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
