The Oh Hellos Wishing Well Lyrics
Wishing Well by 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
Curse my restless wandering feet
Prone to wander endlessly
All the love you gave to me
It wasn't enough to keep me
[Chorus]
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
Bent my knee to many kings
Idols of prosperity
Heard that dollar calling me
So I sought it in the city
[Chorus]
For my soul, he made an offer
And to the dust again I fell
And oh, that devil's got a hold on me now
Because there wasn't any water in the wishing well
(Oh, ooh, ooh, ohh) x4
Cut my hair and changed my name
Only had myself to blame
For the company I was keeping
Curse my restless wandering feet
Prone to wander endlessly
All the love you gave to me
It wasn't enough to keep me
[Chorus]
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
Bent my knee to many kings
Idols of prosperity
Heard that dollar calling me
So I sought it in the city
[Chorus]
For my soul, he made an offer
And to the dust again I fell
And oh, that devil's got a hold on me now
Because there wasn't any water in the wishing well
(Oh, ooh, ooh, ohh) x4
