"Wishing Well" lyrics
"Wishing Well"
I ran like a speeding train
Cut my hair and changed my name
Only had myself to blame
For the company I was keeping
Curse my restless wandering feet
Prone to wander endlessly
All the love you gave to me
It wasn't enough to keep me
Oh, I stole from my father all I thought I could sell
Tossed his copper, and I watched as it fell
But there wasn't any water in the wishing well
Bent my knee to many kings
Idols of prosperity
Heard that dollar calling me
So I sought it in the city
Oh, I stole from my father all I thought I could sell
Tossed his copper, and I watched as it fell
But there wasn't any water in the wishing well
For my soul, he made an offer
And to the dust again I fell
And oh, that devil's got a hold on me now
Because there wasn't any water in the wishing well

We're just leaves,...
Henry Jamison - "Real Peach" Well nighttime passes
But the dark remains
And I was feelin' like a little child
But I am loathe to place blame

She was looking in me for a lion...
Langhorne Slim - "Never Break" Love is the key
And under the stars
I lit a flame
To dance in the dark
Break my bones
You can break my heart
But you'll never break me

We are the fish
Love's the surgeon
And we...
The National Parks - "Wind & Anchor" Oh how I long for the wind
It was here and blew away
And like an anchor in the sand
I was forced to stay
Ooh ooh don't leave me like this
Don't leave me like this
I belong to you
Ooh ooh don't leave...
