When the fever passes at the bottom of the cotton |
|
In the background in the background of the flood |
|
Dry among the |
|
Dry among the wet and the rotten |
|
When the fever passes next to the brimming well |
|
The worst is more than over and anyone can tell |
|
When the fever passes and we're all back in our nests |
|
We'll be extravagant hosts instead of imposing guests |
|
And all that you know of this is what you have heard |
|
I'm not sure even the best of us |
|
I'm not sure even the best of us |
|
And all that you know of this is what you have heard |
|
I'm not sure even the best of us |
|
I'm not sure even the best of us |
|
Can care all the time |
|
When the fever passes when we don't know what to do |
|
We'll buy twice as many comforts just like we used to do |
|
When the fever passes, oh when the fever clears |
|
Oh, we'll look back on these quietly like they're someone else's years |
|
When the fever passes at the bottom of the cotton |
|
In the background in the background of the flood |
|
Dry among the |
|
Dry among the wet and the rotten |
|
When the fever passes next to the brimming well |
|
The worst is more than over and anyone can tell |
|
When the fever passes and we're all back in our nests |
|
Oh, we'll be extravagant hosts instead of imposing guests |
|
And all that you know of this is what you have heard |
|
I'm not sure even the best of us |
|
I'm not sure even the best of us |
|
And all that you know of this is what you have heard |
|
I'm not sure even the best of us |
|
I'm not sure even the best of us |
|
Can care all the time |
