Deeper Well - David Olney
Well the sun burned hot
It burned my eyes
Burned so hot
I thought I'd died
Thought I'd died
And gone to hell
Looking for the water
From a deeper well
Well I went to the river
But the river was dry
I fell to my knees
And I looked to the sky
Looked to the sky
And the Spring rain fell
I drank the water
From a deeper well
Well well well well
I drank the water from
A deeper well alright
Well I fell in love
Like a baby child
I fell for a touch
And I fell for a smile
Smile turned bitter
And her touch turned cold
I could not keep
What I could not hold
So I ran with the moon
And I ran with the night
And the three of us
Made a terrible sight
Whored and we gambled
With the money we'd steal
Looking for the water
From a deeper well
Well well well well
Looking for the water
From a deeper well
Well the moon got weak
And he soon was gone
And the night got sick
And he died with the dawn
Died with the dawn
With a drink in his hand
Too sick to walk
Too drunk to stand
Well time stood still
But I ran wild
And I got my fill
With a crooked smile
Woke up on the floor of
A jailhouse cell
Looking for the water
From a deeper well
Well well well well
I drank the water
From a deeper well
Well the sun burned hot
It burned my eyes
Burned so hot
I thought I'd died
Thought I'd died
And gone to hell
Looking for the water
From a deeper well
Well I went to the river
But the river was dry
And I fell to my knees
And I looked to the sky
Looked to the sky
And the Spring rain fell
I drank the water from a deeper well
Well well well well
I drank the water from a deeper well
