I Tremble for You

This world that I live in is empty and cold

This loneliness cuts me and tears at my soul

I'm no child of destiny, no fortune's son

I've chased you so long now, I'm too weak to run

And here I return to a back street of thrills

Back to any warm shoulder till she's got her fill

And then I treat shame like some old friend from home

That I can lean on till the misery is gone

A new day is here yet nothing is new

And you're still gone still I tremble for you

I cry out at bedtime oh, please not tonight

Then I hear your footsteps and I turn on the light

Of course you're never there, no, you never are

And I try to forget that there's always a bar

Though I win that battle, and, sometimes I do

But sleep doesn't come when I tremble for you
