DONOVAN
"A Well Known Has-Been"

Tonight my life is heavy
I'm weak and down at heel
The prisoner in the dungeon
Will know just how I feel

I'm a well known has-been, a well known has-been
I've got a brand on me
When I look at my tomorrows
Sorrow's all I see
Sorrow's all I see (sorrow's all I see)
Sorrow's all I see (sorrow's all I see)
Sorrow's all I see

How sad my disposition
How long can it I bear?
How deep my melancholy
Can anybody care?

For the well known has-been, the well known has-been
I've got a brand on me, yeah
When I look at my tomorrows
Sorrow's all I see
Sorrow's all I see (sorrow's all I see)
Sorrow's all I see (sorrow's all I see)
Sorrow's all I see

Well known has-been, well known has-been
Well known has-been

I pretend I'm unaffected
By the chains that bear me down
And when only those who love me
Can see behind the frown

Of the well known has-been, the well known has-been
I got a brand on me, yeah
When I look at my tomorrows
Sorrow's all I see
Sorrow's all I see (sorrow's all I see)
Sorrow's all I see (sorrow's all I see)
Sorrow's all I see (sorrow's all I see)
Sorrow's all I see

From these broken days of anguish
Some day soon I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna raise my head to Heaven
I'm gonna fly the starry skies

And the well known has-been, the well known has-been
I'll lose the brand on me, yeah
I won't look at my tomorrows
When today is all I see

Today's all I see (today's all I see)
Today's all I see (today's all I see)
Today's all I see (today's all I see)
Today's all I see
