Billy Strings, Fences - Globe lyrics

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

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
