paroles de chanson Something In The Well - Bruce Springsteen

Woke last night to that same sound
First, I thought it was you breathin'
Got out of bed and went to the window
Just as a cloud rushed 'cross the moon

Baby, baby, there's something in the well
There's something in the well

Lately I've been watchin' that corner of the field
Out where the old black willow fell
Things can seem so safe and sure
But you can never really tell

Baby, baby, there's something in the well
Something waiting in the well

Now, I boarded it up myself back a lot of years
It's too long a story to tell
But there was no more sadness, no more tears
And since, I've guarded it well
Oh, there's some secrets that should never be told
There's some words that should never be said
Now I know there's things in this world, baby
That should stay locked up forever inside our heads

Baby, baby, there's something in the well
There's something in the well

Folks in town forgot, now they don't much care
See, quiet years passed, but I could still feel it there
Snow melted off the fields, summer crops came through
Still, it stayed silent, then I met you

Well, last night, darling, I did sleep
Naked on the dark spring ground
The leaves in the trees came alive and spoke to me
And I could feel the dirt 'neath me movin' 'round
Hey, the well was torn open and I stared down
Into the muddy darkness, my black tears fell
Stars spread their false light on the earth
Moon slipped from the sky and fell

And my love for you came rushin' forward
And my fear and hatred as well
Hell, things can seem so safe and sure
But you can never really tell
There's something in the well
