When I was younger my heart had a hunger For feelings of every kind But down through the years I shed hardly a tear Was it just that I hadn't the time? A world full of sorrow holds pain for tomorrow The future don't look very bright Down through the ages we're tearing the pages There's more of the book still to write All these years I never asked why All the tears I never could cry You don't miss the water till the well runs dry I met an old woman she knew I was coming By the leaves in her teacup that night I took pains to explain what I found on my way And the things that I left way behind All these years I never asked why All the tears I never could cry You don't miss the water till the well runs dry And you've nothing left to show So heads are gonna roll All these years I never asked why All the tears I never could cry You don't miss the water till the well runs dry And you've nothing left to show You've got nothing left to show So heads are gonna roll You don't miss the water till the well runs dry Don't miss the water till the well runs dry You don't miss the water till the well runs dry Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
