lyrics

Can't Chain A Shiver
Music and Words by Mark Robinson
Copyright 1992/2019 SmallBoy Songs

Take a my hand before you take my breath
Theres a caged bird fluttering in my chest
It'll fly away
One of these days.
It's gonna break and wheel
As the world is turning beneath my heel
Its going home to stay

You can bide your time
When youre in your prime
If you do nobody knows it
And the world may grieve
When you have to leave
And if they do nobody shows it

Drink me long, drink me high
When I'm crossing the river
You wont run, you wont cry
But you cant chain a shiver

Just because the night is beautiful
Doesnt mean you gotta dance when the moon is full
But then you may
And just because I wanna say this right
Doesnt mean im gonna drop dead overnight
But who's to say?
You can drink my health
And surround yourself
With the things a life resembles
While i aint got much of a mind as such
Only love can make me tremble

Drink me long, drink me high
Take me down to the river
Yoi wont run, you wont cry
But you cant chain a shiver
