Today’s song is about a wishing well.
A wishing well is a term from Europeanfolklore to describe wells where it was thought that any spoken wish would be granted. The idea that a wish would be granted came from the notion that water housed deities or had been placed there as a gift from the gods. This practice is thought to have arisen because water is a source of life, and was often a scarce commodity.

lyrics
You hear me so clearly
And see how I try
You feel me, so heal me
And tear me apart
And see how I try
You feel me, so heal me
And tear me apart
And I won’t tell a soul
I won’t tell at all
And do they have to know
About my goodnight girl
I won’t tell at all
And do they have to know
About my goodnight girl
Caught up in your wishin’ well
You hopes inside it
Take your love ‘n’ promises
And make them last (you make them last)
You hopes inside it
Take your love ‘n’ promises
And make them last (you make them last)
You keep me so near you
And see me so far
And hold me and send me
And deep in your heart
And see me so far
And hold me and send me
And deep in your heart
And I won’t tell a soul
I won’t tell at all
And i won’t let them know
About my goodnight girl
I won’t tell at all
And i won’t let them know
About my goodnight girl
Caught up in your wishin’ well
You hopes inside it
Take your love ‘n’ promises
And make them last (you make them last )
You hopes inside it
Take your love ‘n’ promises
And make them last (you make them last )
Caught up in your wishin’ well
You hopes inside it
Take your love ‘n’ promises
And make them last (you make them last )
You hopes inside it
Take your love ‘n’ promises
And make them last (you make them last )
It doesn’t matter how sad
I made you
Doesn’t matter…
I made you
Doesn’t matter…
