lyrics

Such a vivid dusk
How can there be so much hurt in us?
Call it fight, call it flight
Call it love, call it lust
Call it anything you must
A night moth whispers
In spritz of dust ‒

When fever comes
You will hold out your arms
Who will it be there at the end?
Will you call
For your mother, or your lover
Or your god?
Remember me, and pass me along

Such a tender sun
Why must the heart so hard become?
Call it brave, call it wise
Call it finally and safely mine
Call it anything you like
A chill breeze whispers
This soft reprise ‒

When fever comes
You will hold out your arms
Who will it be there at the end?
Will you call
I forgive you, brother, sister, after all?
Remember me, and pass me along

Such a precious night
How is it we so rail and fight?
Call it rigour, call it pride
Call it running out of time
Call it what your heart desires
Says the whispered song
Through dandelions ‒

When fever comes
You will hold out your arms
Who will it be there at the end?
Will you call
For the warm that touched your cheek when you were small?
Remember me, and pass me along
