into the well (“drop the pail in the well”)

listen: from “falling down”

listen: monday song

lyrics

drop the pail in the well
turn the handle see the water rise
feel the moon cast its spell
dive in and leave the world behind
close your eyes
there’s a window inside
breath deep and it opens up wide
as night falls outside
it’s your own private ride
the moon and your heart side by side
drop the pail in the well
turn the handle the waters rise
the eagle sleeps in her shell
until the day she breaks free and flies
the nursemaid is sweeping
the candlelight seeping
neath your door while you’re sleeping
in bed
a river is streaming
while the stars shimmer gleaming
on a world that you dream
in your head
close your eyes
there’s a window inside
breath deep and it opens up wide
as dusk moves to dawn
you float on a song
as the tide pulls you on
you belong
you belong
drop the pail in the well
crank the handle and the waters rise
dim the lights ring the bell
a warm vibration behind your eyes
drop the pail in the well
drop the pail in the well
dim the lights ring the bell
drop the pail in the well
