I went down to the well to the well
Though the light was fading
I went down to the well at night
Although the well was dry

I dug deep at the well one time
To tell you I was craving
I put my pride on the sideline
To see what I might find here

And we're a long way from home
Where the stars shine bright in the blackest night
But the warmth of their fire's not ours to find
And we're a long way from home
And I'm looking for familiar place to hide
But you're nothing but a dream from a different life

I was holding out for you
I was holding out for you always
I was holding out for you
I'm still holding on

I'm looking for a storm that will end the heat
To see this desert raining
The cool of your eyes in a memory keep
There's trouble in these skies

And we're a long way from home
Where the stars shine bright in the blackest night
But the warmth of their fire's not ours to find
And we're a long way from home
And I'm looking for familiar place to hide
But you're nothing but a dream from a different life

I was holding out for you
I was holding out for you always
I was holding out for you
I was holding out for you always
I was holding out for you
I was holding out for you always
I was holding out for you
I'm still holding on
