The Collection - Fever lyrics

I was singing by the river, waiting for my troubles to be gone And you were coming through the speakers, sliding down my ears and played their drums And I was sick with holy fever, burning up with blankets and with love And you would love me like a mother, cooling me with freezing baptisms It seems that I had struggled O' so long to say your name without some fear of finding out your name was nothing more than just a name to make things clear But then you give your hands to me and I have seen your side and touched the holes The holes that spell forgiveness in fewer letters than I could ever be told If I am a sinner, then I have got Paul in my sights 'Cause we have both been living with unspoken thorns in our sights But then you take those thorns out and wear them all as a crown Things had changed the moment you came down Call to me, you call to me, in disbelief I fall flat on my face The countless times that you've caught me is never as surprising as the chase So bind my heart in dirty rags and tie it to the place you call your home And I will walk forever with you, you will be the only place I roam
