Globe - Billy Strings, Fences

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
