Story behind the song
Wishing Well was written before the idea for Ariel, my final Religious Studies project in college, had even occurred to me, but it dovetailed so well with the other material I included it on the tape. The original version, and all of Ariel for that matter, was plagued by my loquacious finches, Rosenkrantz & Guildenstern, but I prefer this version anyway. It’s more leisurely and the guitars mesh nicely, I think. It reminds me, for various reasons, of The Wheel by The Grateful Dead.
Lyrics
raise the sky ring the bell i will be your wishing well raise the sky, spin the wheel, and on... raise the sky ring the bell i will be your wishing well raise the sky, spin the wheel, and on... oh, how we race to discover only to find it was neatly undercover save me from my heart save me from my heart oh, how we fight to defend a fortress and a bitter end all we are is business and pleasure all we are is nothing of measure
