Tremble

I put the paper in the stream so I could read the signs
Just like those monks must've done a thousand times
Words appeared like a reflection at the bottom of a cup
I rang the bell she held my hand and warmed my hands up

You can speak a little more calmly can't you now?
You can look away and nod instead of stare her down
You know you breathe a little more easily whenever she's around

Try not to let her down

And sometimes it causes me to tremble
Sometimes it makes my hands shake
Sometimes it causes me to tremble
And it's more than I can take

Try not to let her down

There were no streetlights along the turning road
The cedar sky above us was clear and cold
She didn't say so much and she walked slow
When I was tried she just smiled and said
You know, it's not far to go

You've got a fuse that snaps to mono black and drains the power grid
It's worth remembering the times you regret the things you said and did
Did you really pause long enough before you walked from that cafe?
Did you really just run out of things to say?

And sometimes it causes me to tremble
Sometimes it makes my hands shake
Sometimes it causes me to tremble
And it's more than I can take

Her quiet song the way she shakes her tambourine
Her grace and devotion her crazy notions
The way she mixes up did and was
And calculates a loss to make a won
Her kooky grin

Try not to let her down
Try not to let her down

And sometimes it causes me to tremble
Sometimes it makes my hands shake
Sometimes it causes me to tremble
And my heart to break
