The Well

(Album: Straw In The Wind - 2017)

Please let me drink a sip from the well of your life
Friend, mine is all but fools
I've seen the world, yeah but I've seen the ending too
And it don't quench my thirst like it does for you

I looked at my life like there was a mountain to climb
And you lived yours like all honest men do
Well I took off to find myself
I got lost and it sure feels swell
To call this place home again, not like it does for you

And I know
The side of the fence that you've only dreamed of
And you know
That you've got me beat with a family that needs you
Well, pull up a seat
If you've got the time
Listen to me think
I bet we'll find
A piece of common ground that we both can stand on

They say there's two fires, two sides to every man's soul
And who knows how we choose?
But we do and we burn. Some wild, and some tame
I've learned the purpose of the flame, well, it's up to you

And I know
The side of the fence that you've only dreamed of
And you know
That you've got me beat with a family that needs you
Well, pull up a seat
If you've got the time
Listen to me think
I bet we'll find
A piece of common ground that we both can stand on

And I know
The side of the fence that you've only dreamed of
But you know
That you've got me beat with a family that needs you
Well, pull up a seat
If you've got the time
Listen to me think
I bet we'll find
A piece of common ground that we both can stand on

Please let me drink a sip from the well of your life
Tell me all about it, man, until I am full
