tarnation - the well lyrics
i’m waiting, i wait, for the creaking of the gate,
how long, how long must i wait.
i sit, i sit, the weeds gather ’round me,
the wind whips my dress so that i cannot see.
so long, good-bye, to that great moaning sky and i’ll cast my heart down
the well.
i stare, i stare, and i’m looking over there,
‘cross that ghostly lake where he dwelled.
i look and i see a light burnin’ bright,
but i know it doesn’t burn for me tonight
so long, good-bye, to that great moaning sky and i’ll cast my heart down
the well.
looking down, looking down, to where he once laid,
the birds hovered then took him away.
i rise to my feet and i walk down that road
where i silently cry when this story is told.
so long, good-bye, to that great moaning sky and i’ll cast my heart down
the well.
