A gray sky in the cold falling like ashes Like autumn in winter. Like the aching to my bones If I could fly up like an ember, or wood smoke from the fire I'd try to ride this last cold sunset on home
Don't let the fever take me in the night
They were burning tar in the corners of the city when I left and through the smoke I could've swore I saw Calvin Etson Step Just skin and bones he looked so at home Maybe, just maybe, it was death
Don't let the fever take me in the night
But that yellow bastard followed me here and he caught me all alone Now Jack is whispering into my ear telling me to give up on my hope I, I don't want to die. I don't want to die here by myself I don't want to die. So, Don't let the fever take me in the night
I, I don't want to die. I don't want to die here by myself I don't want to die. So, Don't let the fever take me in the night
