Deeper Well Dave Olney, Daniel Lanois, Emmylou Harris (CAPO @ I) Dm Am the sun burned hot, it burned my eyes / burned so hot I thought I'd died thought I'd died and gone to hell / lookin' for the water from a deeper well I went to the river but the river was dry / I fell to my knees and I looked to the sky I looked to the sky and the spring rain fell / saw the water from a deeper well well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well / well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well I was ready for love I was ready for the money / ready for the blood and ready for the honey ready for the winnin', ready for the bell / lookin' for the water from a deeper well I found some love and I found some money / found that blood would drip from the honey found I had a thirst that I could not quell / lookin' for the water from a deeper well well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well / well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well Well I did it for kicks and I did it for faith / I did it for lust and I did it for hate I did it for need and I did it for love / addiction stayed on tight like a glove so I ran with the moon and I ran with the night / and the three of us were a terrible sight nipple to the bottle, to the gun, to the cell / to the bottom of a hole of a deeper well well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well / well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well I rocked with the cradle and I rolled with the rage / I shook those walls and I rattled that cage I took my trouble down a deadend trail / reachin' out a hand for a holier grail hey there mama did you carry that load / did you tell your baby 'bout the bend in the road 'bout the rebel yell 'bout the one that fell / lookin' for the water from a deeper well well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well / well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
