His eyes were looking down a well of sorrow
And happiness they say, is just a stone’s throw away
If I could reach you now, what would I tell you?
I hope there is an end to what you’ve been through
And if it seems right now, I got a lot on my mind, and not much to say,
Then please carry on til the moment you’re gone, but don’t be carried away
It seems that we've lost touch, I don't see clearly
It all becomes too much, and I feel sickly
And you should know by now, I got a lot on my mind, and not much to say,
So please carry on 'til the day you’re gone,
The words that you say, they will not last long
Please carry on 'til the day that you’re gone,
But don’t be carried away
I saw within his eyes, a well of sorrow
The kind that cuts strong ties, the same kind I’ve known
Another well runs dry, these thoughts won’t die instead
Another day goes by, I keep them in my head
One day I swear I’m gonna show that I care
And live the words I said
Some days I still look down a well of sorrow
Sometimes I think I’ll drown, I keep my eyes closed
And you should know by now I got a lot on my mind, and not much to say,
So please carry on 'til day that you’re gone,
The words that you say, they will not last long
Please carry on 'til the day that you’re gone,
But don’t be carried away, away, away
