from deep dark wells

from deep dark wells
comes pure clean water
and the ice will melt
as the day gets hotter
and the night grows old
as the sun climbs into the sky

when now is then
and tomorrow's coming
and "where you been"
starts meaning something
as long as you can
just keep stumbling ahead

as long as you're not finished
you can start all over again
you can start all over again

joe pug says a guy named harvey thomas young wrote this on a postcard to his brother who was in prison, and just before he dropped it in the mail, his friends convinced him to make it into a song. he said there are many songs by harvey thomas young that will change your life, but this is the one that did it for joe.

i have been listening to it this morning. letting it sink in. waiting for it to change my life. i think i am close.

here is the song.
