lyrics

DOWN AT THE WELL OF WISHES (Jon Byrd/Doyle Primm)

DOWN AT THE WELL OF WISHES
A NOBLE LOSER FISHES
THROUGH THE POCKETS OF HIS BRITCHES
FOR SOME CHANGE

IF HE COULD HEAR THEM JINGLE
OR EVEN FEEL A SINGLE
NEW PENNY IN HIS WRINKLED
HANDS FOR A CHANGE

BUT CHANGE IS HARD TO COME BY
IF THE WELL HAS RUN DRY
AND YOU ARE ONLY SOME GUY
WHO NEEDS CHANGE

THERE’S NOTHING HE CAN THROW IN-
TO THE WELL AND LEAVE IT KNOWIN’
THAT THE WAY HIS LIFE IS GOIN’S
GONNA CHANGE

BUT CHANGE IS HARD TO COME BY
IF THE WELL HAS RUN DRY
AND YOU ARE ONLY SOME GUY
WHO NEEDS CHANGE

ALL THE GODS HAVE SPOKEN
TO THE MAN WHO’S BROKEN
BUT STILL HE KEEPS ON HOPIN’
FOR SOME CHANGE
