Well lyrics

Late afternoon when the sun was unraveling 
Walking the trail to the end of the gravel and 
Into the well went a lucky old silver coin
Tumbling down in the dark I was fading and 
Leaning so far and so quietly waiting 
A wish that was made at the bottom of the well
What happened then is so hard to recall
But as quick as the snap of a whip I was falling and 
Tumbling following after my silver coin
Silence as day turned into the night
Could I go back how I wish that I might
I was the boy in the bottom of the well
Parents were weeping and frantically searching
He�d always been wandering looking for something
One moment he�s here and the next he is surely gone
But he didn�t return for a day and a night
We all knew the son that just couldn�t be right
A voice on the phone said he�d fallen in the well
I woke from my sleep with the firemen screaming and
Lowering down all the things I was needing
A basket a bible a blanket and a bell
And dozens of voices yelling in unison
Loudly and echoey hazy and (?) hold on hold on hold on
I�d always been dreaming of places and scenes
Fireflies only now could you see 
The rhythm of crickets and toads the only sound 
And soon I�d be leaving but now I�m believing
In wishes and wells and a way to get back 
To the sacred place I�ve stumbled on and found
Late afternoon while the sun was unraveling 
Walking the trail to the end of the gravel and 
Into the well went a lucky old silver coin
Tumbling down in the dark I was fading and 
Leaning so far and so quietly waiting 
A wish that was made at the bottom of the well
