Wishing Well from SPELLS + RITUALS by Charming Disaster

Farewell wishing well, I've said what's on my mind
There's no more to tell, but take another dime
I must be moving on
Now that shadows grow long
I never was the superstitious kind

What is this waking me down in the deep
Voice like a silver coin rings in my sleep
Don't be so hasty no don't turn your back
I could deliver you all that you ask

CHORUS:
We’ve done all we can do all by ourselves
Everybody needs a little help
Stuck in place, it's been so long
A little push will keep us going

What sweet melody echoes soft and low
No one here but me yet I am not alone
Did I wake up in a dream
That's no reflection I see
Swimming in the water down below

Begging your pardon I know what you wish
Let's make a bargain and both benefit
So much ambition and I hold the key
My proposition is
Down in the wishing well

(Chorus)

Black hair, skin so fair, eyes of jaded green
A beauty with an emerald stare so hungry and so sweet
How can I be sure
Such a slippery creature
Will keep her fishy promises to me

Treasures and riches and servants and silks
Power to bend all the world to your will
Glory or love or whatever you seek
I’ll grant your wishes
Down in the wishing well

Come in the water / Fall in the water
Come swim in the water / Deep dark cold water
Down in the wishing well / Way down in the wishing well

(Chorus)

Farewell wishing well, I leave you with this song
I’m free from the spell that held me for so long
Is it such a wicked thing
For one who would be king
To grant dominion of this wet abode

Ten thousand gods damn you I was such a fool
Snared by your serpent tongue, trapped in this pool
I swear by the sky that’s now ringed by these stones
Misfortune will find you

Down in the wishing well
Down in the wishing well
Down in the wishing well
Down in the wishing well
