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
