Danny, Dakota & the Wishing Well - A Silent Film

In life you’ll wish for wonderful

In love you’ll wait, you’ll wait

You can walk away from the water, you could run away

You could start again with another

There’s a setting sun where you once found you were in love

Danny met Dakota looking deep into the wishing well

Danny couldn’t write so Dakota taught him how to spell

Dakota told Danny she was falling in love

But Danny couldn’t speak when Dakota grew up

Woahhh

Dakota spent the summer chasing boys and smoking cigarettes

Her first tattoo was a violet on the back of her neck

Dakota left school when she moved down south

She never knew why Danny wouldn’t open his mouth

So she (wooo) she ran away (wooo) from the wishing well

Danny got a job and he kept every promise he made

Dakota got married let the memories slip away

Danny never wrote though he often cried

Dakota missed Danny but she didn’t know why

Dakota found her husband in a hotel with her very best friend

She tried to make it work but she couldn’t trust him again

Dakota moved back to the wishing well

But she never told Danny cause she couldn’t tell

If he still (wooo) held a flame (wooo) for the love (wooo)

That Dakota stole when she went (wooo), away (wooo), from the wishing well

(Go back, go back, to the wishing well)

Months went by Dakota knew where Danny could be found

Once a year he waited by a deep stone hole in the ground

Dakota found Danny where they first had met

She took his hand and she told him, «Friend, don’t let (wooo) me run away (wooo)

Again (wooo), from the love we found when we met (wooo) looking deep (wooo)

into the wishing well»
