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

Lookin' 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

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

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 was a terrible sight

Whored and we gambled with the money we'd steal

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, well, well, well

Lookin' 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

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well, well, well, well

Lookin' for 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

Lookin' 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
