The Strange Well Lyrics - Siberry Jane

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... 

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 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 watercolours 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
