"When the Well Runs Dry"
It comes from deep under ground to feed the perfect garden
thats the way the legend goes
So crystal clear I could watch the bubbles
rising from some hidden pocket of air
If I take a drink I'll never grow old
thats the way I heard the story told
but theres a cold hard truth
about the Fountain of Youth
It'll show in my eyes when the well runs dry
C:
Cause there's no magic spring in some magical place
its the memories I've made and the dreams I chase
its the people I love and the good Lord above
that keep me young and alive when the well runs dry.
Sometimes my problems beat me down
and I start feelin' like its never gonna end
then I finally hit the bottom
and its a struggle to get up and start again
When I was a kid trouble slide off my youth
now it soaks right through my skin to bare the truth
that life moves forward not back
and its a cold hard fact
That in the blink of an eye the well runs dry
C:
B:
I have all I need
to live forever
right here at home
C2:
Don't need no magic spring
in some magical place
I've got my memories
and the dreams I still chase
I've got people to love
and the good Lord above
to keep me young and alive
when the well runs dry
I'll always be young and alive
in my families eyes

Thank you Farrell, David, and LP...makes me feel good to know you like this track
Love the lyrics and the melody. As always, there's a picture painted clearly on the musical canvas of my mind. Your vocals are crystal clear.. (The well runs empty ..? You mean it doesn't start out that way ? I keep waiting for it to fill up)... (LOL) ~
Really nice song, Ron!!
All The Best,
LP/Linda
Really fine lyrics Ron. Very pretty delivery.
A wonderful lyric and song Ron! Unfortunately our wells do run dry at some point in time....but I like your wise analogies masterful songwriting. The guitar sounds very earthy..nice!
