(
Dave Olney, Daniel Lanois, Emmylou Harris)the sun burned hot, it burned my eyesburned so hot I thought I'd diedthought I'd died and gone to helllookin' for the water from a deeper well
I went to the river but the river was dry
I fell to my knees an I looked to the sky
I looked to the sky and the spring rain fell
I saw the water from a deeper wellwell, lookin for the water from a deeper wellwell, lookin for the water from a deeper well
I was ready for love I was ready for the moneyready for the blood and ready for the honeyready for the winnin', ready for the belllookin' for the water from a deeper well
I found some love and I found some moneyfound that blood would drip from the honeyfound I had a thirst that I could not quelllookin'for the water from a deeper wellwell, lookin for the water from a deeper wellwell, lookin for the water from a deeper wellwell 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 loveaddiction stayed on tight like a gloveso I ran with the moon and I ran with the nightand the three of us were a terrible sightnipple to the bottle, to the gun, to the cellto the bottom of a hole of a deeper wellwell lookin for the water from a deeper wellwell 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 gage
I took my trouble down a deadend trailreachin' out a hand for a holier grailhey there mama did you carry that loaddid you tell your baby 'bout the bend in the road'bout the rebel yell 'bout the one that felllookin' for the water from a deeper wellwell, lookin for the water from a deeper wellwell, lookin for the water from a deeper well
