Browne Jackson Our Lady Of The Well Lyrics

Our Lady Of The Well Lyrics

It is a dance we do in silence
Far below this morning sun
You in your
life, me in mine
We have begun
Here we stand and without speaking
Draw
the water from the well
And stare beyond the plains
To where the mountains
lie so still
But it's a long way that I have come
Across the sand to find
this peace among your people in the sun
Where the families work the land as
they have always done
Oh it's so far the other way my country's
gone
Across my home has grown the shadow
Of a cruel and senseless
hand
Though in some strong hearts
The love and truth remain
And it has
taken me this distance
And a woman's smile to learn
That my heart remains
among them
And to them I must return
But it's a long way that I have
come
Across the sand to find you here among these people in the sun
Where
your children will be born
You'll watch them as they run
Oh it's so far
the other way my life has gone
If you look for me, Maria
You will find me
in the shade
Wide awake or in a dream
It's hard to tell--
If you come
to me, Maria
I will show you what I've made
It's a picture for our lady
of the well
