The Well
Did I hear some laughter?
The shadows bled
Did I hear some laughter?
Down in the well
Went to the well to douse this love
There was no water vessel
Went to the well
To wish for love
No spare change in my pocket
Did I hear some laughter?
Did it come from my throat?
I heard the laughter
It couldn’t come from my throat
Went to the well still as stone
Dried flowers in my hand
Went to the well to be alone
To water this old plant
I heard the laughter
Dead flowers in dead hands
I heard it after
I broke its crooked stems
I went to the well to cast a spell
For all the love sick ones
Went to the well to cast a spell
And threw the flowers in
I heard the laughter
From the flowers in the field
We were laughing at
How much more now is revealed
Went to the well
To feel the world
And play around unbound
Looked in the well to see the water
My face was in the clouds
Went to the well
And I heard the laughter
