The Oh Hello's - 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
It wasn't enough to keep me

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

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
And to the dust again i fell
And oh, that devil's got a hold on me now
Because there wasn't any water in the wishing well
