My Well Runs Deeper - Peter Elkas

I have known some girls

All along my short lived way

Even called some love

Then it hit me on the head one day

Love is like a well

It can only ever run so deep

And anybody with two eyes could tell

That mine was dry and then they’d always say to me

My well just runs deeper than yours

My well just runs deeper than yours

I can tell that the feeling is forced

And my well just runs deeper than yours

I ran along with that in mind

And I swore that I would be more kind

And listen to the quiet flow

Of the water in the pool below

Cause it’s tough to say you got a dried up spring

But I didn’t think that I could bear to hear them sing

My well just runs deeper than yours

My well just runs deeper than yours

I can tell that the feeling is forced

And my well just runs deeper than yours

You came along just a sweet young thing

And I never ever thought it would be more than just a fling

Who would have thought that the well inside

Would grow much stronger than an ocean’s tide

My well just runs deeper than yours

My well just runs deeper than yours

I can tell that the feeling is forced

And my well just runs deeper than yours

I see it every time you sigh

Wishing yours had not run dry

And you’re trying to believe that it grows a million leagues

My well just runs deeper than yours

My well just runs deeper than yours

I can tell that the feeling is forced

And my well just runs deeper than yours
