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
