(Shel Silverstein)
Many dark and dreary days have gone and passed me by
Since you took my heart and dashed it to the ground
Many long and lonely nights I`d lie and wonder why
You could take your love and spread it all around
And that`s the bread that you cast upon the waters
Doing all the heartless things you swore you`d never do
And the bread that you cast upon the waters
Will come floating back to you
So you keep right on a dancing underneath them neon lights
But you`ll find out the piper must be paid
And you`ll find out just how it feels to reach out in the night
And feel the one you reach for, turn away
And that`s the bread that you cast upon the waters
Doing all the heartless things you swore you`d never do
And the bread that you cast upon the waters
Will come floating back to you
Many dark and dreary days you`ll look up at the sky
And wonder where did all your sunshine go
And many long and lonely nights you`ll lie and wonder why
You once had a love like mine and you let it go
And that`s the bread that you cast upon the waters
Doing all the heartless things you swore you`d never do
And the bread that you cast upon the waters
Will come floating back to you...........
