The Deepest Wells

Intro

Verse 1

It's late again, the rooms are still

A grey light lingers on the sill

I gave my hours to every call

And now I've nothing left at all

I lie down fully dressed in bed

Too worn out to clear my head

Pre-Chorus

It's just a season passing by

Some days the deepest wells run dry

(the wells run dry)

Chorus

The water's sinking, running low

I gave it freely, and I know

That empty doesn't mean I'm done

The rain cometh down for everyone

(for everyone)

Verse 2

I pull my knees up to my chin

And let the evening settle in

I've never needed any crowd

To feel at home or feel allowed

My roots go deeper than they see

I'm planted in the ground of me

Pre-Chorus

It's just a season passing by

Some days the deepest wells run dry

(the wells run dry)

Chorus

The water's sinking, running low

I gave it freely, and I know

That empty doesn't mean I'm done

The rain cometh down for everyone

(for everyone)

Violin Solo

Bridge

So let me cry and let it pour

That's how the well fills up once more

Hard ground lets the rain run past

Soft ground drinks it, holds it fast

(holds it fast)

I'll stay soft and I'll stay true

That's the strongest thing I do

Final Chorus

I'm filling slowly, drop by drop

The water's rising to the top

The ground is soft, the water's clear

And everything I am is here

(I am here)

Outro

The rain begins, I hear it land

I hold it in an open hand
