Come With Me
Fever Tree Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let them cry,
Time will pass,
Grass will die,
They can't hear,
They can't see,
Come with me.
They can't go,
Who we are,
They don't know,
Take my hand,
Set me free,
Come with me.
Come with me,
Come with me,
Soon dark clouds all be behind us,
Though they search, they never will find us,
So...
Let them laugh,
Let them cry,
Never know,
Wonder why,
They can't hear,
They can't see,
Come with me.
The lyrics of Fever Tree's song "Come With Me" resonate with the themes of timelessness and seeking refuge through someone. The song, with its haunting melody and powerful vocals, invites the listener to let go of everything and follow the singer into a place where there is only peace and liberation. The singer exclaims that it does not matter if people judge or mock us, as time will continue to move forward and everything will eventually pass. The line "grass will die" acts as a metaphor for how ultimately all things come to an end. The chorus of "Come with me" is a plea for the listener to follow the singer into a world where there is no judgment or chaos. The song reflects how at times in life, we all need to let go of all our baggage and allow ourselves to be free.
The second verse showcases how the singer is trying to say that we are not what people believe us to be. "Who we are, they don't know," the songstress proclaims as she invites us to take her hand and become free with her. The song encourages us to ignore the opinions of others and walk with the singer towards a better tomorrow. The haunting melody and the dream-like quality of "Come With Me" further add to the desire we all feel to just escape and be free sometimes.

I had a Fever Tree 8Track Tape that I played on a continuous basis in my 1965 Chevelle.
Great tape to cruise and crank through my 6X9 Motorola Golden Voice Speakers mounted in rear back seat deck.

Even on the other album there full length version of Hey Joe! Blows me away everytime ! Thank you ...

The last two tracks on this album are lost, forgotten masterpieces. Just two beautiful songs which fell through the cracks of radio corporatization in the early 70s, when the radio doctors arrived and started weeding out "insignificant" albums from the station's music library.
. I venture to say that if a more established artist like Paul Simon had recorded this they would be a part of the American musical soundscape. . . Dennis Keller's stellar voice just wasn't enough.
