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
