When I was younger,nMy heart had a hunger,nFor feelings of every kindnnDown through the years,nI shed hardly a tear,nWas it just that I hadn't the time?nnWorld full of sorrow,nHolds pain for tomorrow,nThe future don't look very brightnnDown through the ages,nWe're tearing the pages,nWhile there's more of the book still to writenn(Chorus)nAll these years I never asked whynAll the tears I never could crynYou don't miss the water till the well runs drynAnd you've nothing left to shownSo heads are gonna rollnnMet an old womannShe knew I was comingnBy the leaves in her teacup that nightnnTook pains to explainnWhat I found on my waynAnd the things that I left way behindnn(Chorus x2)nnYeah, you don't miss the water till the well runs drynAll these years I never asked why...
