This song has been done many times since by artists such as Diana Ross & The Supremes and Joe Cocker. #1. [] [] As I walk this land of broken dreams, [] [] [] I have visions of many things. [] [] But happiness is just an illusion, [] [] [] filled with sadness and confusion. CHORUS: [] [] What becomes of the broken-hearted, [] [] who has love that's now departed? [] [] I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind, [] [] [] [] maybe, oh yeah! #2. [] [] The roots of love grow all around, [] [] [] but for me they come a tumbling down. [] [] Every day heartaches grow a little stronger, [] [] [] I can't stand this pain much longer. #3. [] [] I walk in shadows searching for light, [] [] [] cold and alone no comfort in sight. [] [] Hoping and praying for someone who cares, [] [] [] always moving and going nowhere. CHORUS: #4. [] [] I'm searching though I don't succeed, [] [] [] for someone's love there's a growing need. [] [] All is lost there's no place for beginning, [] [] [] all that's left is an unhappy ending. CHORUS: [] [] What becomes of the broken-hearted. [] [] [] who has love that's now departed. [] [] I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind [] [] [] I'll be searching everywhere, just to find someone to care, [] [] I'll be looking every day, I know I'm gonna find a way. [] [] [] Nothings going to stop me now..I'll find a way somehow. [] [] [] [] [] I'll be looking every day, I know I'm gonna find a way... A Sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
