Fever

Intro: Verso 1: with a shrug of her shoulders the mountain came down tore a path all the way to the water through my sleeping town And the trails i'd wandered on a race to the birth of the million year old rock from the naked gasping earth oh my children where you gonna go now you lost the land you called your home when the earth is burning fever on her brow crying oh my children who will save you now Interlude Verso 2: now the winters hit harder the summers are fire and the rains are the tears of a mother for a rebellious reckless child still the spring brings clover amid the blackened oaks sprays some fledgling branches N.C. and the wild flowers below oh my children where you gonna go now you lost the land you called your home when the earth is burning fever on her brow crying oh my children who will save you now Ponte: farewell the family of the hollis seeds farewell the fragile air the sea the land five times before she seen the rise and fall again but never by their own hand never by their own N.C. oh my children Solo Verso 3: chaos was my lover fate is my bride we will meet at the edge of the ocean and the ever rising tide oh my children where you gonna go now you lost the land you called your home when the earth is burning fever on her brow crying oh my children who will save you now when the earth is burning fever on her brow crying oh my children who will save you now
