Emmylou Harris - Deeper Well Lyrics
(dave ohey/daniel lanois/emmylou harris)The sun burned hot, it burned my eyesBurned so hot I thought Id diedThought Id died and gone to hellLookin for the water from a deeper wellI went to the river but the river was dryI fell to my knees an I looked to the skyI looked to the sky and the spring rain fellI saw the water from a deeper wellWell...lookin for the water from a deeper wellWell...lookin for the water from a deeper wellI was ready for love I was ready for the moneyReady for the blood and ready for the honeyReady for the winnin, ready for the bellLookin for the water from a deeper wellI found some love and I found some moneyFound that blood would drip from the honeyFound I had a thirst that I could not quellLookin for the water from a deeper wellWell...lookin for the water from a deeper wellWell...lookin for the water from a deeper wellWell I did it for kicks and I did it for faithI did it for lust and I did it for hateI did it for need and I did it for loveAddiction stayed on tight like a gloveSo I ran with the moon and I ran with the nightAnd the three of us were a terrible sightNipple to the bottle to the gun to the cellTo the bottom of a hole of a deeper wellWell...lookin for the water from a deeper wellWell...lookin for the water from a deeper wellI rocked with the cradle and I rolled with the rageI shook those walls and I rattled that gageI took my trouble down a deadend trailReachin out a hand for a holier grailHey there mama did you carry that loadDid you tell your baby bout the bend in the roadbout the rebel yell bout the one that fellLookin for the water from a deeper wellWell...lookin for the water from a deeper wellWell...lookin for the water from a deeper well
