Danny, Dakota & The Wishing Well

In life you'll wish for wonderful
In love you'll wait, you'll wait

You can walk away from the water, you could run away
You could start again with another
There's a setting sun where you once found you were in love

Danny met dakota looking deep into the wishing well,
Danny couldn't write so dakota taught him how to spell;
Dakota told danny she was falling in love
But danny couldn't speak when dakota grew up

Dakota spent the summer chasing boys and smoking cigarettes,
Her first tattoo was a violet on the beck of her neck;
Dakota left school when she moved down south,
She never knew why danny wouldn't open his mouth,
So she (whoo) she ran away (whoo) from the wishing well

Danny got a job and he kept every promise he maid,
Dakota got married, let memories slip away;
Danny never wrote though he often cried,
Dakota missed Danny but she didn't know why;
Dakota found her husband in a motel with her very best friend.
She tried to make it work but she couldn't trust him again;
Dakota moved back to the wishing well
But she never told Danny cause she couldn't tell
If he still (wooo) held a flame (wooo) for the love (wooo)
That dakota stole when she went (wooo), away (wooo), from the wishing well

(go back, go back to the wishing well,
go back, go back to the wishing well,
go back, go back to the wishing well,
go back, go back go back)

Months went by dakota knew where Danny could be found,
Once a year he waited by a deep stone hole in the ground;
Dakota found Danny where they first had met,
She took his hand and she told him "friend, don't let me (wooo) run away
Again (wooo), from the love we found when we met (wooo) looking deep (wooo) into the wishing well"
