Something in the Well

[Verse 1]

Woke last night to that same sound

First, I thought it was you breathin'

Got out of bed and went to the window

Just as a cloud rushed 'cross the moon

[Chorus]

Baby, baby, there's something in the well

There's something in the well

[Verse 2]

Lately, I've been watchin' that corner of the field

Out where the old black willow fell

Things can seem so safe and sure

But you can never really tell

[Chorus]

Baby, baby, there's something in the well

Something waiting in the well

[Verse 3]

Now, I boarded it up myself back a lotta years

It's too long a story to tell

There was no more sadness, no more tears

And since, I've guarded it well

[Verse 4]

Oh, there's some secrets that should never be told

There's some words that should never be said

Now, I know there's things in this world, baby

Should stay locked up forever inside our heads

[Chorus]

Baby, baby, there's something in the well

There's something in the well

[Bridge]

Folks in town forgot, now they don't much care

See, quiet years passed, but I could still feel it there

Snow melted off the fields, summer crops came through

Still, it stayed silent, then I met you

[Verse 5]

Well, last night, darling, I did sleep

Naked on the dark spring ground

The leaves in the trees came alive and spoke to me

And I could feel the dirt 'neath me movin' 'round

[Verse 6]

Hey, the well was torn open and I stared down

Into the muddy darkness, my black tears fell

Stars spread their false light on the earth

Moon slipped from the sky and fell

[Verse 7]

And my love for you came rushin' forward

And my fear and hatred as well

Hell, things can seem so safe and sure

But you can never really tell

There's something in the well
