Wishing Well

I ran like a speeding train

Cut my hair and changed my name

Only had myself to blame

For the company I was keeping

Curse my restless wandering feet

Prone to wander endlessly

All the love you gave to me

Oh, it wasn't enough to keep me

'Cause oh, I stole from my father

All I thought I could sell

Tossed his copper and I watched as it fell

But there wasn't any water in the wishing well

Bent my knee to many kings

Idols of prosperity

Heard that dollar calling me

So I sought it in the city

'Cause oh, I stole from my father

All I thought I could sell

Tossed his copper and I watched as it fell

But there wasn't any water in the wishing well

For my soul, he made an offer

To the dust, again I fell

Oh, that devil's got ahold of me now

'Cause there wasn't any water in the wishing well
