I believe in the shiver
That comes in and takes over
I don't wait till it's over
I bathe in its waves

To the sea from the river
I'm swept and pulled under
I will never recover
I won't be the same

It can happen whenever
I don't hold the lever
The shiver that severs
The heart from the brain

And it burns through the tethers
On electrical pathways
It hangs me up halfways
Between heaven and plain

And from here I see clearly
Across rolling meadows
Around the earth curving
And surging in pain

It's the circle that holds me
A wedding ring rolling
Across a black table
On a wedding day
