Nothing in the well but wishes written by Alan.s.Robinson Nothing in the well, nothing in the well, nothing in the well, nothing in the well There’s nothing in the well but wishes Nothing in the wish but a lifetime lost Dreaming the days and years away ‘till your body lies broken and your bones lie bust nothing in the well but dust, dust nothing in the well but dust, Nothing in the fire, nothing in the fire, nothing in the fire, nothing in the fire There’s nothing in the fire but fever Nothing in the fever but a mind distraught Chasing after shadows as they flicker and fade And you lie dismayed in the ashes all wrought Nothing in the fire you sought, sought. Nothing in the fire you sought Nothing in love, nothing in love, nothing in love, nothing in love There’s nothing in love but pleasure Nothing in pleasure but a trap well hid A barbed tipped hook for to catch your lip Should’ve kept your mouth closed like you wished you did Nothing in love of which you’re not well rid, not well rid. Nothing in love of which you’re not well rid. Nothing in the river, nothing in the river, nothing in the river, nothing in the river There’s nothing in the river but otters Nothing in the otter but a lot of chewed fish You wouldn’t want to be a little eel you feel ‘cause it’s meal time now and you’re the favoured dish nothing in the river but this, this There's nothing in the river but wishes and dust nothing in the river but fever unjust nothing in the river but pleasure in lust nothing in the river but dust, dust nothing in the well but wishes
