Letra de Our Lady of the Well
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 stillBut 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 goneAcross 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 returnBut 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 goneIf you look for me, Maria You will find me in the shade Wide awake or in a dream It's hard to tellIf you come to me, Maria I will show you what I've made It's a picture for our lady of the well
