Deeper Well - Emmylou Harris

作曲：E. Harris/D. Lanois/D. Olney

The sun burned hot

It burned my eyes

Burned so hot I thought I'd died

Thought I'd died and gone to hell

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

I went to the river but the river was dry

I fell to my knees an I looked to the sky

I looked to the sky and the spring rain fell

I saw the water from a deeper well

Well

Lookin for the water

From a deeper well

Well

Lookin for the water

From a deeper well

I was ready for love I was ready for the money

Ready for the blood and ready for the honey

Ready for the winnin'

Ready for the bell

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

I found some love and I found some money

Found that blood would drip from the honey

Found I had a thirst that I could not quell

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well

Lookin for the water

From a deeper well

Well

Lookin for the water

From a deeper well

Well

I did it for kicks and I did it for faith

I did it for lust and I did it for hate

I did it for need and I did it for love

Addiction stayed on tight like a glove

So I ran with the moon and I ran with the night

And the three of us were a terrible sight

Nipple to the bottle

To the gun

To the cell

To the bottom of a hole of a deeper well

Well

Lookin for the water

From a deeper well

Well

Lookin for the water

From a deeper well

I rocked with the cradle and I rolled with the rage

I shook those walls and I rattled that gage

I took my trouble down a deadend trail

Reachin' out a hand for a holier grail

Hey

There mama did you carry that load

Did you tell your baby 'bout the bend in the road

'Bout the rebel yell 'bout the one that fell

Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well

Lookin for the water

From a deeper well

Well

Lookin for the water

From a deeper well
