Lyrics

Hey I'm a sleeper
Down and deeper
Dropping pennies in a well that much too cold
Why do I care?
Is it I think there wishes in there
And how I close my eyes going under
At the well of the whispering wonders
Now where's my daydream, a frosted ice cream?
I can't sit around and wait for things to come
I'm not a fool, can't waste my time, I've got big things to do
So come on, don't be long, lead me to it
And I'll tell how the well likes to do it
Now don't be tricky, I'm too old
I'm a well and I got wishes of my own…
Feel lucky, you're not like me
You can touch and heal and see a little girl so bold
With their little clothes and their smiles are gold
Ah, yes sir
I'm a sleeper
Down and deeper
Holding pennies in a well
I'm much too cold
I'm not a fool, no
Can't waste your time
I've got big things to do
So come on, don't be long
Lead me to it
And you'll see how the well likes to do it…
