Water To The Well

Sinead Lohan


i am still eleven but i'm only twenty-one 
i'd like to be figment of your imagination 
and i know i can believe me 
if i listen to myself 
you're just ornamented 
and you're sitting on a shelf 

and i don't want to carry any water to the well 
i don't want to leave all my wishes in a spell 
it's time to be away from here 
i cannot help myself 
i'm no longer on the side 
that takes what it can get 

what i could tell you now 
would probably not help you at all 
i know i should have told you 
when you were nearer to the fall 
strangers came among us 
and we had not been prepared 
the journey in and out of sin 
must have signalled that we cared 

and i don't want to carry any water to the well 
i don't to leave all my wishes in a spell 
it's time to be away from here 
i cannot help myself 
i'm no longer on the side 
that takes what it can get
