Tremble
by Peter Himmelman


Well the time it ran right through us, like the roar of a midnight train
Though we scorned it made us sane, held us prisoner
And we prayed when you left us, but only for a while
Our minds so like a child's, grew impatient with the waiting

I still tremble, tremble, tremble at the thought of you
I still tremble, tremble, tremble when I hear your name
I tremble, tremble, tremble at your face above my bed
Lord there's nothing to be said to ease the pain

Now the days seem so much colder and a laugh somehow more rare
And the things that made us care, well they've changed a bit
When I wake up in the morning, my reflection looks so pained
God I know there's nothing gained if you don't get hurt a little

I still tremble, tremble, tremble at the thought of you
I still tremble, tremble, tremble when I hear your name
I tremble, tremble, tremble at your face above my bed
Lord there's nothing to be said to ease the pain

Well the strong they find a meaning, or at least set out to try
While the weak they wait to die, just rewards and all
They say with every great catastrophe there's a lesson to be learned
A wisdom that gets earned, but for now that's far away

I still tremble, tremble, tremble at the thought of you
I still tremble, tremble, tremble when I hear your name
I tremble, tremble, tremble at your face above my bed
Still there's nothing to be said to ease the pain
