There'll be a time when this won't hurt you After this fever's come and gone I've got your sweaty little hand in mine Keep runnin' that shaky marathon Soon, the nights won't seem half as scary It will turn your dreams back into gold Your grinding cough one morning will vanish Like the springtime chases away the cold I'm only gonna let go of your hand Long enough to steer I'm only gonna let go of your hand When we get in the clear There'll be a time when you won't need me You'll know exactly when to go And you'll learn to dart in and out of traffic And float like a whisper in the snow I'm only gonna let go of your hand Long enough to steer I'm only gonna let go of your hand When we get in the clear May every last fever break May every last fever break May every last fever break May every last fever break But you ain't here in the California Without fire, flood or quake May every last fever break May every last fever break May every last fever break May every last fever break May every last fever break May every last fever break
