Shiver

Lock the door my one son

Soon it will be all done

They'll be coming for me shortly

There's blood upon the streets tonight

You should know I've done no crime

But this will be the last time

We can sit by the fire

And I'll tell you what you need to learn

'Cause I shiver when the day is good

Shiver when it's understood

Shiver at the very sight

Shiver 'cause I know I'm right

And you're young but you're able

To put food upon the table

Now your mother will need you

Your sister won't understand

And in the years that follow

If you're lost and hollow

Remember why they took me

It's because they couldn't take my soul

And I shiver for the love we give

Shiver for the life we live

Shiver when I look at you

Shiver 'cause you'll make it through

Don't carry 'round the weight

Of a vengeful hate

Soon you'll become the ones

For whom we sit and wait

You hear the slow clock ticking

Like a trigger clicking

Footsteps in the alley

The wolves are upon our door

And your tears flow free

But don't fear for me

'Cause you'll be my keeper

And a ghost is what they'll get

And I shiver at the very thought

Shiver 'cause it's all we've got

Shiver when the sky turns black

And I shiver

Because I won't be back

I shiver 'cause I won't be back

I shiver 'cause I won't be back

I shiver 'cause I won't be back
