Lyrics Globe - Billy Strings, Fences

Globe

I want a lock of your hair
I’m pretty sure it cures disease
All you gotta do is lay your hands on me
Until the illness leaves
I want us to be happy
Better than our families
All we gotta do is lay beside the creek
Until we grow a tree
We’re swimmin' in the rivers and we’re drivin' on the roads
We’re always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe
Swear I’ll try to believe
You love me just as God made me
A lack of faith, a man with no belief
Passes in his sleep
And I’ll be your
your book of dried up leaves
All you gotta do is promise to read me
The chapters may be brief
We’re swimmin' in the rivers and we’re drivin' on the roads
We’re always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe
When I wake up with a fever
It must have been a dream I can’t recall
Always feels like the rain is comin' down
As soon as I come up
When I’m freezin' through the evenin'
You heart is burnin' like an anthracite
It quickens me in spite of old December’s wrath
Throughout the aftermath
We’re swimmin' in the rivers and we’re drivin' on the roads
We’re always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe
We’re swimmin' in the rivers and we’re drivin' on the roads
We’re always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe
When you cross the stream well you do so to find me
And walk along the salmon like
And the steps you take might break me without warning
And remind me of the sorrow in the song
We’re swimmin' in the rivers and we’re drivin' on the roads
We’re always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe
We’re swimmin' in the rivers and we’re drivin' on the roads
We’re always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe
