Shiver

Waking up with an ache in my head
And a bottle of wine at the foot of my bed
I'm fading
Fading away
Chasing a high that goes drifting on by
With the flowers of time getting lost in my mind
I'm praying that she'll stay away

So take me down to Chinatown
And say you love me by the river
A furrowed brow
A frozen frown
I know that touch it makes me shiver

Light a match let it catch all the smoke in my lungs
Now that morning has come
I can't see anyone
Who knows me that well
All the days lost to haze as the memories fade
Into matter of grey and the mind voices say
I'm destroying my health

So take me down to Chinatown
And say you love me by the river
A furrowed brow
A frozen frown
I know that touch it makes me shiver
