The Dead South
Wishing Well
[Verse 1: Nate]
So sweet, so gentle, I
I bet you taste like sweet cherry pie
So gorgeous, every man's joy
When I meet you, it's my straw
So fine, you put powers to shame
You got all the eyes playing your game
You will move, and I will ask you to dance
Will you let me tell you sweet romance?
[Chorus: Nate]
I throw my penny into a wishing well
What that wish was, I will never tell
And again I'll be by your side at night
Can I be your everlasting light?
[Verse 2: Nate]
I will be your warrior
I'll be the one who takes care of you
Just let me know, and take your time
Oh baby, just please lay with me at night
I'll be the one to control disease
I'll change the weather any time you please
Everyone will know your name
If you'll please just be my queen
[Chorus: Nate]
I throw my penny into a wishing well
What that wish was, I will never tell
And again I'll be by your side at night
Can I be your everlasting light?
Can I be your everlasting light?
[Bridge: Nate & Scott]
I throw my fate into that wishing well
I pray to God that I will go to Hell
Oh, oh, oh
I throw my fate into that wishing well
I pray to God that I don't go to Hell
No, no, no
I throw my fate into that wishing well
I pray to God that I don't go to Hell
No, no, no
[Chorus: All]
I throw my penny into a wishing well
What that wish was, I will never tell
And again I'll be by your side at night
Can I be your everlasting light?
Can I be your everlasting light?
