[Verse 1]
All of my friends come to see me last night
I was laying in my bed and dying
Annie Beauneu from Saint Angel
Say "the weather down here so fine"
[Verse 2]
Just then the wind came squalling through the door
But who can the weather command?
Just want to have a little peace to die
And a friend or two I love at hand
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Fever roll up to a hundred and five
Roll on up, gonna roll back down
One more day I find myself alive
Tomorrow maybe go beneath the ground
[Bridge]
See here how еverything
Leads up to this day
And it's just like any othеr day
That's ever been
Sun going up and then
The sun, it going down
Shine through my window
And my friends they come around
Come around, come around, oh
All of my friends come to see me last night
I was laying in my bed and dying
Annie Beauneu from Saint Angel
Say "the weather down here so fine"
[Verse 2]
Just then the wind came squalling through the door
But who can the weather command?
Just want to have a little peace to die
And a friend or two I love at hand
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Fever roll up to a hundred and five
Roll on up, gonna roll back down
One more day I find myself alive
Tomorrow maybe go beneath the ground
[Bridge]
See here how еverything
Leads up to this day
And it's just like any othеr day
That's ever been
Sun going up and then
The sun, it going down
Shine through my window
And my friends they come around
Come around, come around, oh
