You have a father   There is another   You have a sister   There are no brothers.      You have good friends   You have a lover   When friendships end   You will still love her   But it’s Teresa they love the best.      There was a flood   A world of water   The mason’s wife   Swam for her daughter.      One thousand people   Did what they could.   They found the steeple   And tore out the wood.      Five hundred pieces   Means five hundred float.   One thousand people means   Five hundred don’t.   And it’s Teresa they love the best.      I’ve said it before,   And I’ll say it again.   All fires have to burn alive.   All fires have to burn alive.      From near his heart,   He took a rib.   All fires have to burn alive to live.   From near his heart,   He took a rib.   All fires have to burn alive to live.   So it’s Teresa that I love the best.
