〈Water In The Well〉是美國鄉村音樂創作歌手辛普森(John Sturgill Simpson),以獨唱藝術家身分發行的專輯「High Top Mountain」中的一首,沉穩的嗓音以敘事的脈絡訴說朋友間的情誼。
They say that looks can be deceiving
And there's been rumors going around
One look at me's the same thing as believing
Everything you've heard without hearing a sound
So if my eyes remind you of water in a well
It's 'cause your heart is the stone
I know sometimes it can seem like my mind
Belongs to a child that's grown
But somewhere between you and me, I've lost my way
And I've been trying to get home
...................
Lord knows I've tried to move on
And get you out of my mind
You find your way into all of my songs
Every memory I manage to find
...................
井裡的水
他們說不能只看外表
而且謠言到處都有
一看到我就相信
沒有聲音,你仍然能聽到所有內容
所以,如果我的眼睛會讓你想起井裡的水
那是因為你的心,像是石頭
我知道有時候看來像是我個人的心聲
屬於一個成長孩子的想法
但是你我之間,某些部分讓我迷失
我一直在努力找正確的方向
..........
上帝知道我試圖繼續前進
擺脫你造成的煩惱
你找到方法,走進我每一首歌曲裡
我設法找到的每個記憶
..........
