Man in the Bottom of the Well

6. Man in the Bottom of the Well – Bill Kirchen – 3:08

There’s a man in the bottom of the well
Did he jump? Was he pushed? Is he lyin’ where he fell?
Is he lookin’ down from heaven or starin’ up from hell?
There’s a man in the bottom of the well

He’s lookin’ up at me with eyes so wide and deep
And I wonder is he always there? Does he ever sleep?
I spend my time a thinkin’ about the tales he has to tell
There’s a man in the bottom of the well

Don’t go there for water
You might walk away dry as dust and bone
You might see your mother’s son or daughter
Forever wreathed by water and by stone
Well I made a wish and tossed 2 pennies down
They ricocheted and the wish I made spun ‘em round and round
Till they shattered my reflection and the soul I’ve got to sell
There’s a man in the bottom of the well
Is he lookin’ down from heaven or starin’ up from hell
There’s a man in the bottom of the well
