Jennifer Warnes - The Well (2003) by Jennifer Warnes (보컬) on maniadb.com

We can make it, I know we can
Only time will tell
Let's take a walk down to the water
Let's go the well
You hear that low humming underground
Hear the skylark in the dell
The wild world is speaking
Let's go to the well

Sometimes my heart feels like a dandelion
Seeds scattered in a careless wind
And nothing to show for my life and time but
Innocent wonder in the face of thunder
Feeling like something is about begin

Let's build a bonfire
For the stories we tell
Of wild years, the wasted tears
Ant he silent way they fell
See the curls of smoke rising up
To the big old sky as the moonlight falls
down over those distant hiss
I don't want to be anywhere else anymore
let's go to the well

you better believe my faith in you
it is wide and steady as a Texas moon
and when this stuff starts rolling through
its as all innocent wonder in the face of thunder
feeling like something is coming soon

We can make it, I know we can
Only time will tell
Let's take a walk down to the water
Let's go the well

… and let's go down to those hills through the
trees across the rocky path ? down to the Blanco river ? come with me darling, the sky is a so big today?my heart's so full?
c'mon, lets go to the well now, babe

The moment we said good bye
Silence tore across the sky
The riverbed by wide and dry
As far as I could see
And someone said
My ghost was found
Laying her burden down
Taking the long way around
Underneath the moon…

Somewhere on the prairie,
A little cross in mine
A simple wooden marker
With a plastic rose is entwined
And in the stillness of the twilight
As the tumbleweeds wind
I am crawling like a scorpion
across the melancholy time

so shred the poems
let the wild birds chase them in the breeze
let them make their nests
from words like “please??
put those dreams to rest
throw them at the moon
blow the confetti across
the golden west

I was the fragrance in the wild flower
Opening for only you
In the delicate hour
Before the cold shot through
Ten thousand years from now
You’ll put your hand in mine
Remembering a fragrance
Full of melancholy time

You see those ravens breaking the prairie sky?
We used to go where ravens fly
Our giddy laughter made the angels cry
to fly as free as you and i

somewhere on the prairie
a cross, a rose, a shrine
standing for true love
gone before its time
there goes your shadow down the highway
out that road I could’t fine
while I crawl like a scorpion
slowly to the new word
across these miles of prairie
full of melancholy time

my home has been a warrior field
where now and then I've seen
a rainbow rising over the graves
down in the gentle green
and as I waltzed across the mine
time sped to breathlessly
as I fought for love
and I sang for love
too late, love comes to me

I saw you coming over the hill
So strong, so brave, so true
I fell down to my knees and cried
The way I used to do
It came at such surprise to me
I thought those tears had passed
Is it god who laughs this heart awake?
Too late, love comes at last

O lovers how they come and go
Like waves upon the shore
Brave hearts can drown in the briny deep
And still cry out for more
My treasure's in the water now
My pearls are lost at sea
And my heart must bend like a rainbow
Too late, you've come to me

Well, she's up against the register
An apron and a spatula
With yesterday's deliveries
And tickets for bachelors
She's a moving violation
From her conk down to her shoes
But she's just an invitation to the blues

But you feel like cagney
And she looks like Rita Hayworth
At the counter of the Schwab's drugstore
You wonder if she might be single
She's a loner, likes to mingle
Got to be patience, try to pick up a clue
She says how you gonna like'em
Medium or scrambled?
Any way is the only way
Be careful not to gamble
On a guy with a suitcase
And a ticket getting out here
It's tired bus station
And an old pair of shoes
Ain't nothing but an invitation to the blues

But you can't take your eyes off her
Get another cup of java
And it's just the way she pours it for you
Joking with the customers
Oh mercy, Mr. Percy!
There ain't nothing back in jersey
But a broken down jalopy
Of a man i left behind
And a dream that i was chasing
A battle with booze
An open invitation to the blues

Ah, but she's had a sugar daddy
And a candy apple caddy
A bank account and everything
Accustomed to the finer things
He left her for a socialite
He didn't love her except at night
And then he's drunk
And never even told her that he cared
So she took the registration
Car keys and her shoes
Left with an invitation to the blues

Now there's continental trailways leaving
Local bus tonight, good evening
You can have my seat
I'm sticking round here for a while
Get a room at squire
The filling station's hiring
And I can cat here every night
What the hell have I got to lose
Got a crazy sensation
Go or stay, I gotta choose
I'll accept your invitation to the blues

In every heart there is room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I fear I’ve said too much
My silence is my self defense

For every time I’ve held a rose
It seems only felt the thorn
And so it goes and it goes
And so will you soon, I suppose
But my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It’s just as well for all I’ve seen
And so it goes and so it goes
And you’re the only one who knows
So I would choose to be with you
That’s if the choice ere mine to make
But can make decision, too
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It’s just as well for all I’ve seen
And so it goes and so it goes
And you’re the only one
Who knows

I had a dream, woke up shaking
The moon breaking through the tress
And in the stillness of the evening
I heard a rustling in the leaves
And I saw a panther in the yard
Moving slow across the ledge
With silver eyes and a cool regard
And hunger with a cutting edge

Open the door, let it in
This mystery you found
It's all yours now
Come lay the panther down

So I called the eagle and the raven said
My prayer to the sky with the moon as my witness
I looked the panther in the eye and beheld
His violent beauty
That cut so deep and hard
Through my civilized indifference
And reckless disregard

So I open the door and let it in
This mystery I found is all mine now
Time to lay the panther down

We can make it, I know we can
Only time will tell
Let's take a walk down to the water
Let's go the well
You hear that low humming underground
Hear the skylark in the dell
The wild world is speaking
Let's go to the well

Sometimes my heart feels like a dandelion
Seeds scattered in a careless wind
And nothing to show for my life and time but
Innocent wonder in the face of thunder
Feeling like something is about begin

Let's build a bonfire
For the stories we tell
Of wild years, the wasted tears
Ant he silent way they fell
See the curls of smoke rising up
To the big old sky as the moonlight falls
down over those distant hiss
I don't want to be anywhere else anymore
let's go to the well

you better believe my faith in you
it is wide and steady as a Texas moon
and when this stuff starts rolling through
its as all innocent wonder in the face of thunder
feeling like something is coming soon

We can make it, I know we can
Only time will tell
Let's take a walk down to the water
Let's go the well
