Well Of Misery Lyrics - Singles - Cave Nick

Along crags and sunless cracks I go 

Up rib of rock, donw spine of stone 

I dare not slumber where the right winds whistle 

Lest her creeping-soul clutch this heart of thistle 

O the same God that abandon'd her 

Has in turn abandon'd me 

And softenin' the turf with with my tears 

I dug a Well of Misery 

And, in that Well of Misery 

Hangs a bucket fulla Sorrow 

Which swings slow an' achin' like a bell 

Its toll is dead and hollow 

Down that well lies the long-lost dress 

of my lil floatin girl 

That muffles a tear that you let fall 

All down that Well of Misery 

Put ya shoulder to the handle, if ya dare 

and hoist that bucket, hither 

Crank'n'hoist'n'hoist'n'crank 

Till ya muscles waste'n'wither 

O the same God that abandon'd her 

Has in turn abandon'd me 

Deep in the Desert of Despair 

I wait at the Well of Misery
