Live at Uncommon Ground - 25 Sept 2009 - "Broken Well"

Jay Mathes performing at Uncommon Ground, Wrigleyville, in Chicago, IL on 25 September 2009.

Broken Well

I bet they think we're crazy
Staring at the sky
Life is easy
Some day you will die
For better reasons

Hope-shaped clouds survive
Confined to 5th grade
Longing for the nights
Preserved for old age

We all should go back home tonight -
Remember how we started
And if we wish this all goodbye
We'll see the well is broken

I'm not blind
They we're crazy - think it's easy
Changing lives
And who would have thought just a pick-me-up

Waiting for the games
You played in moonlight
Cans and flags and graves
When life was so right

Can we change the world
If we grow up strong
Find out who we were
In summers since gone

We all should go back home tonight -
Remember how we started
And if we wish this all goodbye
We'll see the well is broken

I'm not blind
They we're crazy - think it's easy
Changing lives
And who would have thought just a pick-me-up

I bet they think we're crazy
I think the answer's maybe
I trust in things we can't see
Have faith in things yet to be

I'm not blind
They we're crazy - think it's easy
Changing lives
And who would have thought just a pick-me-up would save a soul

Nine to Five
They're the ones we've
Come to believe
Crucified
Our hopes and fears and dreams
