Ralph McTell - You Well-Meaning Brought Me Here lyrics

How do you expect me to feel now you tell me I've arrived And here I am but I tremble when I stand. For I feel I'm on the outside. Where did it go wrong Won't you point it out please show I know you well meaning brought me here so you must know. I know every stranger here and the love they lend. But now that's gone and still the need for it goes on Oh how I need a good friend I should have know that in the end I'd have to answer to myself And though you well meaning brought me here now you cannot help. And I never meant to come this far And I never thought I'd loose my way. And now I know who "they" are. But I still get hurt by the things they say This place has no kings only courtiers live here. Fine words, fine clothes, fine promises that they make in fear. I am tired but I cannot rest beneath this roof If here I lie it would be easier to try But where could I tell the truth. Please don't look so strangely now As if I failed some kind of test. I know you well meaning brought me here and I've done my best.
