Just like a shadow They never leave an open door behind They leave you hanging Like a picture on the wall And then they're gone To find something New to feed upon The room is trembling like a river But the air feels so dead The doctor says it could be Some kind of fever Or even Something worse And he shouts in verse Can we get a nurse To reverse this curse Come hell or high water It comes and goes Like the trains at the station It moves like a tropical storm That forms above the ocean It sucks up all the water And it strikes those lovely beaches Swarming with people Who saved for months just to reach them My fair weather friend You said you'd stick till the end Come hell or high water
