This Dry Well

Andrea Heins
Lyrics: November 1/01 & March 10/02
Music: March 10/02

This burning feeling behind my eyes
That comes when, no matter how hard I try,
My efforts seem so useless
My perseverance droops, it
Seems this well I'm digging will stay dry

A burning feeling, but I won't cry
Someday someone will hear my sigh
I give, I give all I own
But still I stand alone
It seems this well I'm digging will stay dry

But with any luck at all
I won't be down for long
With a little bit of grace
I won't end up on my face
Perhaps the well won't fill
But it will be useful still
If I get out then I can hide my misdone deeds down there
