The Well Lyrics - Singles - Tarnation

I'm waiting, I wait, for the creaking of the gate, 

How long, how long must I wait. 

I sit, I sit, the weeds gather 'round me, 

The wind whips my dress so that I cannot see. 

So long, good-bye, to that great moaning sky and I'll cast my heart down 

the well. 

I stare, I stare, and I'm looking over there, 

'Cross that ghostly lake where he dwelled. 

I look and I see a light burnin' bright, 

But I know it doesn't burn for me tonight 

So long, good-bye, to that great moaning sky and I'll cast my heart down 

the well. 

Looking down, looking down, to where he once laid, 

The birds hovered then took him away. 

I rise to my feet and I walk down that road 

Where I silently cry when this story is told. 

So long, good-bye, to that great moaning sky and I'll cast my heart down 

the well.
