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 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
