Emmylou Harris – Deeper Well Lyrics  Share

From Emmylou Harris's album: Wrecking Ball

(Dave Ohey/Daniel Lanois/Emmylou Harris)

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 an I looked to the sky
I looked to the sky and the spring rain fell
I 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

[ Deeper Well lyrics from

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 gage
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
