McKenna Patchen - Water In the Well Lyrics

You think it's one lesson learned
The fire you build alone will always burn
But then you're standing in a world that turns and turns
Cnd you can't see beyond the trees

The things you think you can mend
You end up walking straight into a dead end
But when you stop and you smell the fresh pine trees
You'll look around, and say who made these

Oh I've tried and I've failed
To find the water in the well
The older I get, the less I think I know
So take my foolish heart and set it aglow
You're where the path leads, and that's where I wanna go

Underneath the open sky
They'll say that you can be your own guide
But when you're lost in the wilderness
What is the break of day that lights the way

Cause I've tried and I've failed
To find the water in the well
The older I get, the less I think I know
So take my foolish heart and set it aglow
You're where the path leads, and that's where I wanna go

Yeah, cause I've tried and I've failed
To do everything well
The older I get, the more I wanna know
Who you are, and what you've got to show me
You're where the path leads, and that's where I wanna go
Where I wanna go
