lyrics

TALES FROM THE FEVERWORLD
© Martin Praetorius

I have a skull & crossbones ring
A bird on my shoulder that cannot sing
An empty chest, for the treasures I'll find
A ship that's entirely build in my mind
And I am going to paint me an ocean
With quicksilver waves
That float in slow motion

And I tell you tales from the feverworld
I tell you tales from the feverworld
I tell you tales...

I'll bring a pot of gold
From the end of the rainbow
Unmeasurable time from the land of tomorrow
An ointment I copped from a wise Seminole
All for to mend the scars in your soul
And silk from the stars to dry your tears when you weep
And dreams that will keep you safe when you sleep

And I tell you tales from the feverworld...

To see you suffer weighs heavy on my heart
It don't make a difference, if we're together, if we're apart
You're soul in my
As I am soul in you

I swear to you
I met the man in the moon
He blew bubbles under water in a silver lagoon
OK, I made that one up, just to see your grace
Lighten up with one smile on your face
But this one is true, I'll love you forever
And it cuts to the bone
That we can't be together

And I tell you tales from the feverworld...

Winter Sun
by Fiachna O Braonain

supported by 4 fans who also own “Tales from the feverworld”

Fiachna Winter Sun just brings me to my knees. The fiddle and flute completely summons my core to the submission of such beauty. Just played this again after your performance with Tom Dunne and Alan Conner on The Late Late Show. Your energy on the trad song was incredible. Still grappling with a continent and an ocean keeping me at bay with the gigs of humanity being right there in Ireland. Dont Stop! David and Delfina Hernandez
