Our Lady Of The Well - Jackson Browne

It is a dance we do in silence 
Far below this morning sun 
You in your life, me in mine 
We have begun 
Here we stand and without speaking 
Draw the water from the well 
And stare beyond the plains 
To where the mountains lie so still 

But it's a long way that I have come 
Across the sand to find this peace 
Among your people in the sun 
Where the families work the land 
As they have always done 
Oh it's so far the other way 
My country's gone 

Across my home has grown the shadow 
Of a cruel and senseless hand 
Though in some strong hearts 
The love and truth remain 
And it has taken me this distance 
And a woman's smile to learn 
That my heart remains among them 
And to them I must return 

But it's a long way that I have come 
Across the sand to find you here 
Among these people in the sun 
Where your children will be born 
You'll watch them as they run 
Oh it's so far the other way 
My life has gone 

If you look for me, Maria 
You will find me in the shade 
Wide awake or in a dream 
It's hard to tell
If you come to me, Maria 
I will show you what I've made 
It's a picture for our lady of the well
