There is a Well (Radio Edit)

from The Well by Ralph Beeby and the Elephant Collective

lyrics

There is a well outside this town, there is a well
And nobody touches the water drawn from this well
Some say the devil runs deep underground,
Some say there's too many bodies pushed down,
Down in the well.

Because nobody really knows what's down in the well
But they never found young Bobby Quinn or his sweet Isabelle
Some said that those two should never have been,
Some said they saw things they shouldn't have seen,
Out by the well.

Now here comes preacher waving his Bible, here comes the priest
Selling your soul salvation for gold, here comes the priest
Jesus can save you from sin and from vice,
But he knows a shortcut for the right price,
Here comes the priest.

Some say the devil brings all of your woes, my dear
And some leave out their bodies to bring down the crows, my dear
Some bury their problems out by the well.

Some say the devil plays tricks on the world, my dear
But have you seen the preacher's new girl, my dear?
Ain't it funny how much she looks like Isabelle?

There is a girl out by the well, there is a girl
Leaving a rose for young Bobby Quinn, there is a girl
Whispering a quiet prayer for the deceased,
Before she hurries back home to the priest
And away from the well.
