Chorus: Let's go down to the holy well
Down among the heather
Hear the water make a gentle sound
We'll heal our souls together
Where the water flows from a deeper place
And it starts it's life anew
We'll plant our wishes there with love
Let our dreams come true
Chorus
We'll linger there for a quiet hour
By the grasses flowers and ferns
Just put your ear down to the ground
Let simple thoughts return
It isn't all the far away
Just a few steps from the road
But we can leave our burdens there
We can lighten up our load
Chorus
Hand in hand and side by side
And heart by loving heart
Sit quiet there in the misty shade
And let the healing start
Chorus
