Hey I'm a sleeper, Down and deeper Dropping pennies in a well that much too cold Why do I care? Is it I think there wishes in there And how I close my eyes going under At the well of the whispering wonders Now where's my daydream, a frosted ice cream? I can't sit around and wait for things to come I'm not a fool, can't waste my time, I've got big things to do So come on, don't be long, lead me to it And I'll tell how the well likes to do it [Instrumental Interlude] Now don't be tricky, I'm too old
I'm a well and I got wishes of my own… Feel lucky, you're not like me You can touch and heal and see a little girl so bold With their little clothes and their smiles are gold Ah, yes sir, I'm a sleeper Down and deeper Holding pennies in a well I'm much too cold I'm not a fool, no Can't waste your time I've got big things to do So come on, don't be long Lead me to it And you'll see how the well likes to do it… [Instrumental fadeout]
