Secret Garden
Woke last night to that same sound
First I thought it was you breathing
Got out of bed and went to the window
Just as a cloud rushed 'cross the moon
Baby baby there's something in the well
There's something in the well
Lately I've been watching that corner of the field
Out where the old black willow fell
Things can seem so safe and sure
But you can never really tell
Baby baby there's something in the well
Something waiting in the well
Now I boarded it up myself back a lotta years
It's too long a story to tell
There was no more sadness, no more tears
And since, I guarded it well
Oh there's some secrets that should never be told
There's some words that should never be said
Now I know there's things in this world baby
Should stay locked up forever inside our heads
Baby baby there's something in the well
There's something in the well
Folks in town forgot, now they don't much care
See, quiet years passed but I could still feel it there
Snow melted off the fields, summer crops came through
Still it stayed silent then I met you
Well last night darling I did sleep
Naked on the dark spring ground
Leaves in the trees came alive and spoke to me
And I could feel the dirt 'neath me moving 'round
Hey the well was torn open and I stared down
Into the muddy darkness my black tears fell
Stars spread their false light on the earth
Moon slipped from the sky and fell
And my love for you came rushing forward
And my fear and hatred as well
Hell, things can seem so safe and sure
But you can never really tell
There's something in the well
First I thought it was you breathing
Got out of bed and went to the window
Just as a cloud rushed 'cross the moon
Baby baby there's something in the well
There's something in the well
Lately I've been watching that corner of the field
Out where the old black willow fell
Things can seem so safe and sure
But you can never really tell
Baby baby there's something in the well
Something waiting in the well
Now I boarded it up myself back a lotta years
It's too long a story to tell
There was no more sadness, no more tears
And since, I guarded it well
Oh there's some secrets that should never be told
There's some words that should never be said
Now I know there's things in this world baby
Should stay locked up forever inside our heads
Baby baby there's something in the well
There's something in the well
Folks in town forgot, now they don't much care
See, quiet years passed but I could still feel it there
Snow melted off the fields, summer crops came through
Still it stayed silent then I met you
Well last night darling I did sleep
Naked on the dark spring ground
Leaves in the trees came alive and spoke to me
And I could feel the dirt 'neath me moving 'round
Hey the well was torn open and I stared down
Into the muddy darkness my black tears fell
Stars spread their false light on the earth
Moon slipped from the sky and fell
And my love for you came rushing forward
And my fear and hatred as well
Hell, things can seem so safe and sure
But you can never really tell
There's something in the well
