lyrics

Down to the Well
by Lucien LaMotte

V1
I heard it said that hard times come and go
But it seems the hard times are all I know
I’ve got a hole in my chest where the spirit should be
So tell me brother, what’s on the other side
And show me why I should believe

CH
And I’ll go down to the well
Down to the well
I’ll go down to the well
One last time

V2
So I threw a wish down in the deep
I couldn’t see my reflection but made the leap
And the sky opened up and I bathed in the black rain
The ground cried a river of blood
I said the word and raised Cain

CH
And went down to the well
Down to the well
I went down to the well
One last time

BR
I asked and received
Now I want to be washed clean
But enough ain’t enough
To be saved from the flood

V3
Now dirty water, it tastes like wine
I grew thirsty enough to compromise
I’ll go blind from the harvest of a poisoned crop
But hell might be well worth the trade
Convince me why I should stop



CH
And I’ll go down to the well
Down to the well
I’ll go down to the well
One last time
