Cave Nick Well Of Misery Lyrics

Well Of Misery Lyrics

Along crags and sunless cracks I go
Up rib of rock, donw spine of stone
I
dare not slumber where the right winds whistle
Lest her creeping-soul clutch
this heart of thistle
O the same God that abandon'd her
Has in turn
abandon'd me
And softenin' the turf with with my tears
I dug a Well of
Misery
And, in that Well of Misery
Hangs a bucket fulla Sorrow
Which
swings slow an' achin' like a bell
Its toll is dead and hollow
Down that
well lies the long-lost dress
of my lil floatin girl
That muffles a tear
that you let fall
All down that Well of Misery
Put ya shoulder to the
handle, if ya dare
and hoist that bucket,
hither
Crank'n'hoist'n'hoist'n'crank
Till ya muscles waste'n'wither
O
the same God that abandon'd her
Has in turn abandon'd me
Deep in the
Desert of Despair
I wait at the Well of Misery
