Jackson Browne - Our Lady Of The Well

Jackson Browne

Our Lady Of The Well

It is a dance we do in silence
Far below this morning sun
You in your life, me in mine
We have begun
Here we stand and without speaking
Draw the water from the well
And stare beyond the plains
To where the mountains lie so still

But it's a long way that I have come
Across the sand to find this peace among your people in the sun
Where the families work the land as they have always done
Oh it's so far the other way my country's gone

Across my home has grown the shadow
Of a cruel and senseless hand
Though in some strong hearts
The love and truth remain
And it has taken me this distance
And a woman's smile to learn
That my heart remains among them
And to them I must return

But it's a long way that I have come
Across the sand to find you here among these people in the sun
Where your children will be born
You'll watch them as they run
Oh it's so far the other way my life has gone

If you look for me, Maria
You will find me in the shade
Wide awake or in a dream
It's hard to tell--
If you come to me, Maria
I will show you what I've made
It's a picture for our lady of the well

Mirror lyrics:

It's a picture for our lady of the well
I will show you what I've made
If you come to me, Maria
It's hard to tell--
Wide awake or in a dream
You will find me in the shade
If you look for me, Maria

Oh it's so far the other way my life has gone
You'll watch them as they run
Where your children will be born
Across the sand to find you here among these people in the sun
But it's a long way that I have come

And to them I must return
That my heart remains among them
And a woman's smile to learn
And it has taken me this distance
The love and truth remain
Though in some strong hearts
Of a cruel and senseless hand
Across my home has grown the shadow

Oh it's so far the other way my country's gone
Where the families work the land as they have always done
Across the sand to find this peace among your people in the sun
But it's a long way that I have come

To where the mountains lie so still
And stare beyond the plains
Draw the water from the well
Here we stand and without speaking
We have begun
You in your life, me in mine
Far below this morning sun
It is a dance we do in silence
