Lyrics - Well Of Misery by 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 dressof 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 dareand 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
