Deeper Well Emmylou Harris

[Verse 1]
The sun burned hot, it burned my eyes
Burned so hot I thought I'd died
Thought I'd died and gone to hell
Looking for the water from a deeper well

[Verse 2]
I went to the river, but the river was dry
I fell to my knees and I looked to the sky
Looked to the sky and the spring rain fell
I saw the water from a deeper well

[Chorus]
Well, looking for the water from a deeper well
Well, looking for the water from a deeper well

[Verse 3]
I was ready for love, I was ready for the money
Ready for the blood and ready for the honey
Ready for the winning, ready for the bell
Looking for the water from a deeper well

[Verse 4]
I found some love and I found some money
Found that blood would drip from the honey
Found I had a thirst that I could not quell
Looking for the water from a deeper well
