I took my bucket down to the well
There’s a (desert?) woman, sweet mystery
She let the rope fall down in the well
Like it was meant to be

She put the jug upon her head
Walked with her back to the wind
I followed her tracks the moment she said
"why don’t you come in?"

Chorus:
She killed the light, she dropped her glove
She said "are you looking for trouble
Or looking for love, love, love?"

I woke in the morning dying of thirst
Headed straight back to the well
There she was with a jug on her head
The rope had just fell

The well in her eyes was deep and black
With no question or answer
She wiped my brow and i followed her back
To the tropic of cancer

Chorus

I’m waiting, I wait, for the creaking of the gate,
How long, how long must I wait.
I sit, I sit, the weeds gather ‘round me,
The wind whips my dress so that I cannot see.
So long, good-bye, to that great moaning sky and I’ll cast my heart down the well.
I stare, I stare, and I’m looking over there,
‘Cross that ghostly lake where he dwelled.
I look and I see a light burnin’ bright,
But I know it doesn’t burn for me tonight
So long, good-bye, to that great moaning sky and I’ll cast my heart down the well.
Looking down, looking down, to where he once laid,
The birds hovered then took him away.
I rise to my feet and I walk down that road
Where I silently cry when this story is told.
So long, good-bye, to that great moaning sky and I’ll cast my heart down the well.
