Spirit Of The West Lyrics
"Water in the Well"

(One,two, three four...)

There's water in the well
And the gate is always open
There's wood out in the shed
And the chimney's always smokin'
The kettle's on the boil now and
Won't you stay for tea
And help us with the garden

And we'll help you rake your leaves
Money doesn't talk in this neighbourhood
A healthy bank account won't do you no good
Well, hey neighbour I've seen that done before
You scratch my back and i'll scratch yours

There's water in the well
And the gate is always open
There's wood out in the shed
And the chimney's always smokin'
The kettle's on the boil now and
Won't you stay for tea
And cut the children's hair
Before we go to the quilting bee

Well, rise and shine what a glorious day
We're learning about living in the natural way
We're all mother nature's children
Daughters and sons
Our numbers are many, but we all live as one

(Ah, play it for me Matt...)(Instrumental)

Buy a few acres do your own excavation
Lay down them forms, build up the foundation
I'll gladly lend a hand if you need me, brother
'Cause we are only wealthy through each other

Ahh-ah-our roads are dirt and our highways are gravel
We're self sufficient folks here, there's no need to travel
The water is clear the earth is chemical free
We're all safe in our community... nuclear free

There's water in the well
And the gate is always open
There's wood out in the shed
And the chimney's always smokin'
The kettle's on the boil now
Won't you stay for herbal tea
I'll loan you my guitar
If I can watch your colour TV
