The Thief and the Well

[Verse] Quiet night the moon glows bright Silent steps a thief's delight He spots the well with silver coins Wishes drowned in echoed noise [Verse 2] The well it whispers to him low "Hey there thief where will you go?" "I'm here for wealth just let me be" Coins are mine for none to see [Chorus] Thief and well they speak tonight Coins and dreams fall out of sight Stealing hopes beneath the moon Wishes echo like a tune [Verse 3] The well it sighs and softly pleads "Those are wishes not just needs" Thief he smirks and takes a bow "I’ll keep the dreams anyhow" [Bridge] Water’s cold around his hand Life and love slip through like sand “What you take you can’t return” “Well old well I'll never learn” [Verse 4] Steps grow heavy burdened gold Promises and stories told Thief and well in midnight's clutch Both are changed by each one's touch
