Lyrics - The Well by 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 downthe 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 downthe 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 downthe well.
