The Well Of Loneliness

The Well Of Loneliness - McCarthy

You sit still inside a well

Where you wish all will be well

You're silently dreaming

What no tongue can ever tell

This is the well of loneliness

Oh this is the well of loneliness

And oh of broken promises

Where you have decided nothing changes

I once thought fame and romance could drag me out of hell

But they have only chained me here

In a lifelike prison cell

They are many we are few

There's not much that we can do

In a well of no hoping

There's no point in hoping

In a well of no hoping

There's no hope there's no point in hoping

This is the well of loneliness

Oh this is the well of loneliness

And oh of broken promises

Where you have decided nothing changes

They promised me paradise if I fell under their spell

Glazed-eyed passive citizens suit them very well

This is the well of loneliness

Oh this is the well of loneliness

And oh of broken promises

Where you have decided nothing changes

Could these sleepers ever wake

Or have we come too late

They have done

Such a good job on them down there in the well

They are many we are few

(I see no way up I see no way out)

There's not much that we can do

(I see no way up I see no way out)

In a well of no hoping

There's no point in hoping

In a well of no hoping

There's no hope

There's no point in hoping

In a well of no hoping

There's no hope there's no point in hoping

Is there hope
