Wishing Well

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.

Last night I dreamed of falling

Down a wishing well.

No one could hear me calling

From where I fell.

And from above the ground

I could faintly hear

The world and all her sounds

Songs, vows, playgrounds, tears.

I fell in a wishing well

Now the damage is done

And who, who have I become?

Not even angels saw me

From tall starry skies.

And then a searchlight shone upon me

Bright in my eyes.

For all this time I prayed

You might come around.

Now stranger I'm afraid

I might call you down.

I fell in a wishing well

Now the damage is done

And who, who have I become?

I'm through with my dream come true.

Then it's just begun

And who, who have I become?

Opened my eyes and woke up twice this morning

Lately getting up has only got me down.

Maybe there's a place where I can live again

Never leave the ground.

I fell in a wishing well

Now the damage is done

(Now the damage is done)

And who, who have I become?

I'm through with my dream come true

And it's just begun.

Who, who have I become?
