When I was younger
My heart had a hunger
For feelings of every kind

Down through the years
I shed hardly a tear
Was it just that I hadn't the time?

World full of sorrow
Holds pain for tomorrow
The future don't look very bright

Down through the ages
We're tearing the pages
While 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 'til the well runs dry
And you've nothing left to show
So heads are gonna roll

Met an old woman
She knew I was coming
By the leaves in her teacup that night

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 'til 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 'til the well runs dry
And you've nothing left to show
No, you've got nothing left to show
So heads are gonna roll

Yeah, you don't miss the water 'til the well runs dry
Yeah, you don't miss the water 'til the well runs dry
Yeah, yeah...
