Lyrics
Dig This Well Deep
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
With one thing and another
Banged my head against the wall
Always looking over my shoulder
And it makes no sense at all
Chorus
I'm going to dig this well deep
It's a promise I must keep
I'm going to dig this well deep
'Cos I want to find water
I'm going to dig this well deep
Going to sow before I reap
I'm going to dig this well deep
'Cos I want to find water
Cynics try to hold me in the graveyard of their egos
Put my dreams out with the trash man and they left me on a plateau
Holding on and keeping strong
When you are walking on a tightrope
Holding on and keeping strong
When you are wilted down to your last last hope
See it through to a conclusion even if it leads to nowhere
Sometimes there is no solution but the water tastes as good there
