Lyrics
The Well’s Run Dry
The page is blank, running out of time
The well’s run dry, the well’s runs dry
No words to say, no words to rhyme
The well’s run dry, my baby’s gone
Oh the well’s run dry. What do I do now
My baby’s gone, my baby’s gone
He’s left me here; sky’s filled with dark clouds
And the well’s run dry. My baby’s gone
It’s time to plant. The fields are fallow
The well’s run dry, the well’s run dry
Without my man there’s no tomorrow
The well’s run dry, my baby’s gone
Oh the well’s run dry. What do I do now
My baby’s gone, my baby’s gone
He’s left me here; sky’s filled with dark clouds
And the well’s run dry. My baby’s gone
There’s no hope on the horizon
There’s no way to wash away this pain
Growing deaf from all the silence
Praying every night for the rain
Oh the well’s run dry. What do I do now
My baby’s gone, my baby’s gone
He’s left me here; sky’s filled with dark clouds
And the well’s run dry. My baby’s gone
Oh the well’s run dry, my baby’s gone
