Our Lady Of The Well (Live)

Our Lady of the Well (Live) - Jackson Browne (傑克遜·布朗)

Written by：Jackson Browne

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
