Sugar Bayou Band - Jacob's Well Lyrics

Following your taillights on a dark country road
Full moon in a cloudless sky–hill country a la mode
Raising dust and getting lost before we find the gate
We can hide out here tonight our tracks have been erased

Fiddle on the front porch in the warm cedar wind
The devil dreams the spirits sing–a bard owl calls again
Smoke trails from the campfire like an old Cajun rhyme
They say the ghost swims at night–come on the water’s fine

CHORUS
Walk down to the crystal pool–midnight black, deep and cool
By two a.m. we’re in its spell–take off your clothes and jump in Jacob’s Well

She’s an emerald in the sunlight–her beauty pulls you in
Some went searching for her heart and never came back again
This is not our first time, it will not be our last
I’ve squandered future memories–I won’t let this one pass

CHORUS

BRIDGE
The water’s cold, it stops my heart
I catch my breath and then it starts
Your body gleams in the moonbeam light
No one’s gonna care tonight

Walk down to the crystal pool–midnight black, deep and cool
By two a.m. we’re in its spell–we go and jump in Jacob’s Well
