[Intro]
Oh, take my hand
By the water line
Your name comes back
Like a folded sign
[Verse 1]
I left a coin in the wishing well
For the day you’d turn around
I heard your laugh in the chapel bells
When the evening settled down
Your coat on the chair, your scarlet scarf
Still caught in my mind like flame
And every road I used to take
Leads me back to your name
[Chorus]
Wishing well, wishing well
Pull me where you fell
Wishing well, wishing well
Say you know me well
(Well, oh well)
[Verse 2]
I read your note in the kitchen light
Then I hid it in the book
But the pages kept your shaky hand
And the little second look
There was rain on the window glass
And a bruise in the garden bed
I wanted to be brave for you
But I spoke with my eyes instead
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I still hear
What you never said
Oh, I still keep
Your shadow fed
[Verse 3]
You wore that blue on the ferry home
Like a summer caught on skin
I stood too close, then backed away
Like I couldn’t let you in
Now the clock on the shelf is slow
And the lamp throws gold on gold
I’d cross that bridge with empty hands
If your fingers met my hold
[Chorus]
Wishing well, wishing well
Pull me where you fell
Wishing well, wishing well
Say you know me well
(Well, oh well)
[Verse 4]
I tried new roads and crowded rooms
But your silence had my face
Every goodbye I ever learned
Couldn’t win that empty place
So I sang to the window pane
And I sang to the winter tree
If love is only what we lose
Then come and be lost with me
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I still hear
What you never said
Oh, I still keep
Your shadow fed
[Verse 5]
If you come back, I’ll meet you there
With the moon on your sleeve
No more folded hands, no careful words
Just the truth I couldn’t leave
I’ve kept one wish in the wishing well
For the night your сердце
No, I’ve kept one wish in the wishing well
For the night you choose to stay
[Chorus]
Wishing well, wishing well
Pull me where you fell
Wishing well, wishing well
Say you know me well
(Well, oh well)
[Outro 1]
Take it slow
Let it rise
By the well
Under skies
[Outro 2]
If you’re near
Say my name
Soft as rain
Soft as flame
[Outro 3]
I will wait
At the bend
At the place
Where we end
[Outro 4]
Wishing well
Wishing well
Hold my heart
Until you tell
