The Well

Please, let me drink a sip from the well of your life

Friend, mine is all but fools

I've seen the world, yeah, but I've seen the ending too

And it don't quench my thirst like it does for you

I looked at my life there was a mountain to climb

And you lived yours like all honest men do

Well, I took off to find myself, I got lost

And it sure feels swell to call this place home again

Not like it does for you

And I know

The side of the fence that you've only dreamed of

And you know

That you've got me beat with a family that needs you

Well, pull up a seat

If you've got the time

Listen to me think

I bet we'll find

A piece of common ground that we both can stand on

They say there's two fires, two sides to every man's soul

And who knows how we choose?

But we do and we burn, some wild, some tame

I've learned the purpose of the flame, well, it's up to you

And I know

The side of the fence that you've only dreamed of

And you know

That you've got me beat with a family that needs you

Well, pull up a seat

If you've got the time

Listen to me think

I bet we'll find

A piece of common ground that we both can stand on

And I know

The side of the fence that you've only dreamed of

And you know

That you've got me beat with a family that needs you

Well, pull up a seat

If you've got the time

Listen to me think

I bet we'll find

A piece of common ground that we both can stand on

Please, let me drink a sip from the well of your life

Tell me all about it, man, until I am full
