East to West (Fire in the Well)

from Why Should Not A Trumpet by Travis Puntarelli

/

lyrics

even tho I bin from the east to the west
from the north to the south and back again
over land and sea and evry little fen
there's nothing i like better than you
even though i dined with the king of the fey,
the queen of the birds, and miss dora-dey
i liked them all fine, but i couldn't stay
there's nothing i like better than you

years come and go
my life is never ending and I thought you ought to know
that if all that comes to pass
is a quiet old age, like embers to ash
then I will love you still
like the fire that blows thru the well

even in the houses where the royals frown
from the Bedlam Cots to the bridge downtown
evry mole-picked, fire-bitten, feather of down
there's nothing I like better than you...
even tho I filched all the words that I heard
balanced carefully on the back of a bird
and I flewem from a fiction to a farce I'm a'fear'd
there's nothing I like better than you

and all the pretty little irish girls
and all the pretty little fey
every one of them come has gone again
ah, but one of them stayed
at the end of the road is a fountain of gold
at the end of the road is a fountain, i'm told
