Wishing Well (2022 Remaster) Songtext
von The Oh Hellos

I ran like a speeding train
Cut my hair and changed my name
Only had myself to blame for the company I was keeping
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Curse my restless, wandering feet
Prone to wander endlessly
All the love you gave to me
Oh, it wasn′t enough to keep me

Cause, oh, I stole from my father
All I thought I could sell
Tossed his copper and I watched as it fell
But there wasn't any water in the wishing well


Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Bent my knee to many kings, idols of prosperity
Heard that dollar calling me, so I sought it in the city

Cause, oh, I stole from my father
All I thought I could sell
Tossed his copper and I watched as it fell
But there wasn′t any water in the wishing well

Oh, for my soul, he made an offer
And to the dust, again, I fell
Oh, that devil's got a hold on me now
Cause there wasn't any water in the wishing well

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
