Donovan - A Well Known Has Been lyrics

rate me

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.

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.

Well known has-been

Well known has-been

Well known has-been, ooh, ooh, ooh

I pretend I'm unaffected by the chains that bear me down

And when only those who love me can see behind the frown.

I'm the well known has-been, the well known has-been,

I 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.

>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.

Today's all I see, today's all I see, today's all I see.
