about
Wishing Well is the title track of the album and is written by Alysia Manceau.
Reminiscent of Nick Cave and other modern murder ballad singers, the storyline is narrated by a woman murdered by her lover. Think Handsome Family meets Mazzy Star.
way down past the old town, where the river meets the sea,
there lies and old wishing well, where me an' my love did meet
it was there he pledged his love to me til death drew us apart
and by that old wishing well i offered him my heart
one night when it was dark and cold and the stars we could not see
my love he called out, called for me to leave
so through the night we walked as the moon shone above
and i knew nothing of the lies planned by the one i love
and when we reached that wishing well my love he turned to me
and with his hands upon my neck he slowly strangled me
it was there he pledged his love to me til death drew us apart
and by that old wishing well i died in his arms
so listen pretty women, no listen when i tell
don't follow a man with dark green eyes don't follow him down to that well
way down past the old town where the river meets the sea
my body lies in a deep dark well beneath one hundred feet
