Working On The Well

 


Friend Daniel

Settin’ traps for the big cat

He’s so hyped for the lion

He can’t see there the fight is at

Oh Captain Captain

Waging wars on the open sea

You might conquer the whole world

And not become what you need to be

Oh brother brother

I’ve got the same old story to tell

We’ve got to fill the cup with love

And keep working on the well

 

Sweet talker Delilah

She looks good when she’s riding there

A famed shucker and jiver

She takes your soul

And she strips it bare

Oh kindred kindred

Will you bathe in the blood of time

Or lay low while the fire burns

And pass the days like you pass your wine

 

Oh bother brother

I’ve got the same old story to tell

We’ve got to fill the cup with love

And keep working on the well

 

Oh bother brother

I’ve got the same old story to tell

We’ve got to fill the cup with love

And keep working on the well

 

Oh Delilah
