A Silent Film - Danny, Dakota & The Wishing Well Lyrics
In life you’ll wish for wonderfulIn love you’ll wait, you'll waitYou can walk away from the water, you could run awayYou could start again with anotherThere’s a setting sun where you once found you were in loveDanny met Dakota looking deep into the wishing wellDanny couldn’t write so Dakota taught him how to spellDakota told Danny she was falling in loveBut Danny couldn’t speak when Dakota grew upWoahhhDakota spent the summer chasing boys and smoking cigarettesHer first tattoo was a violet on the back of her neckDakota left school when she moved down southShe never knew why Danny wouldn’t open his mouthSo she (wooo) she ran away (wooo) from the wishing wellDanny got a job and he kept every promise he madeDakota got married let the memories slip awayDanny never wrote though he often criedDakota missed Danny but she didn’t know whyDakota found her husband in a hotel with her very best friendShe tried to make it work but she couldn’t trust him againDakota moved back to the wishing wellBut she never told Danny cause she couldn’t tellIf he still (wooo) held a flame (wooo) for the love (wooo)That Dakota stole when she went(wooo), away (wooo), from the wishing well(Go back, go back, to the wishing well) x4Months went by Dakota knew where Danny could be foundOnce a year he waited by a deep stone hole in the groundDakota found Danny where they first had metShe took his hand and she told him, “Friend, don’t let (wooo) me run away (wooo)Again(wooo), from the love we found when we met (wooo) looking deep (wooo) into the wishing well”
