The Strange Well Lyrics - Singles - Jane Siberry

One time I saw Canada fall 

Through a hole in the sky 

I do not know if I was really sad 

To see her go 

For in her place there was a 

Herd of early morning cows 

They moved in one direction 

They knew where, when, how, why not 

There is a strange well I go to 

And each time I lean, I look 

I learn, I leave, I go back to town 

Saying things I don't believe 

My words they're just pebbles under water 

They rise like flocks of birds 

They are discontinued because 

The well has overhead and said 

Are your opinions not confirmed 

Until you tell them to someone 

And is this the lonely night not real 

Until it has been framed as one 

There is a strange well I go to 

And each time I lean, I look 

I learn, I leave, I go back to town 

Saying things I don't believe 

I spoke about the rosewood proud 

And I said this river is wise 

And I said these mountains are all-seeing 

Said the well, you must realize 

That once again your words 

Have pulled the universe out of place 

To exist it need not have a human face 

There is a strange well I go to 

And each time I lean, I look 

I learn, I leave, I go back to town 

Saying things I don't believe 

And sometimes when I go there 

And my heart is clear 

There are no visions 

There are no sounds to hear 

Oh, strange well does your voice rise and fall 

When I am away 

And do your watercolors run 

Like they're doing today 

There is a strange well I go to 

And each time I lean, I look 

I learn, I leave, I go back to town 

Saying things I don't believe
