Water in a Well - Sturgill Simpson

They say that looks can be deceiving

And there’s been rumors going round

One look at me’s the same thing as believing

Everything you’ve heard without hearing a sound

So if my eyes remind you of water in a well

It’s because your heart is the stone

I know sometimes it can seem like my mind

Belongs to a child that’s grown

But somewhere between you and me I’ve lost my way

And I’ve been trying to get home

Trying like hell but it’s too soon to tell

If our love has all dried up like water in a well

Lord knows I’ve tried to move on

And get you out of my mind

You find your way in to all of my songs

Every memory I manage to find

Someday if I’m standing on some big old stage

And you’re down in the crowd

Trying to tell your friends I used to know him when

But in your heart you’ll know it ain’t true somehow

Trying like hell but it’s too soon to tell

If our love has all dried up like water in a well

I know you see what it’s doing to me

I’m up here playing my part in this nobody town
