Wishing Well
Common Children

Words by Marc Byrd
Music by Common Children


Red Rover, come over, pick clovers
Let's spend a little time away
We're learning, we're turning, we're burning our hands
Playing in the fire today
But please don't listen to the lies inside this place
When the monster rears its head out
Just turn and see your face

When the sky is torn, the feelings are reborn
Like the passing rain, this moment will fade away
And so I try to find my water all by myself
It's so dry
Won't stop to cry

Indecision is killing, you're wishing
You're dreaming your measly life away
Time is out, time is gon, time is in
Time has come and flown away
But please don't listen to the lies inside this place
When the monster sticks its head out
Just turn and slap its face

When the sky is torn and feelings are reborn
Like the passing rain, this moment will fade away
And so I cannot find my water all by myself
It's so dry

I'm drinking from the wishing well
I'm fleeing from the frozen cell
And I think of all the people I've hurt in my life
I think of all the people I've hurt in my life
Forgive me for the people I've hurt in my life
Forgive me for the people I've hurt

When the sky is torn, the feelings are reborn
But like the passing rain, this moment will fade away
And so I cannot find my water all by myself
So I wander all by myself
And I wander I wander I wander I wander
I wander all by myself
