The Quiver

(Instrumental Intro) (Verse 1) The sun is sinking in the west Your head is resting on my chest The waves are pulling from the shore I couldn't ask for any more (Pre-Chorus) But then I feel a quiet dread Inside my worried, spinning head It feels too good, it has to stop Just waitin' for the shoe to drop (Chorus) That sudden chill is called the quiver A fragile fear that makes you shiver It's just your heart left open wide Let gratitude become your guide (Verse 2) The fire crackles, warm and low With dearest friends I’ve come to know We share a story and a drink It gives me peaceful time to think (Pre-Chorus) My mind rehearses tragedy A future I pretend to see I know the good times won't last long And celebrating feels so wrong (Chorus) That sudden chill is called the quiver A fragile fear that makes you shiver It's just your heart left open wide Let gratitude become your guide (Bridge) I will not squander all this good It's time my choice is understood Instead of holding on to fear I'll choose to be completely here (Chorus) That sudden chill is called the quiver A fragile fear that makes you shiver It's just your heart left open wide Let gratitude become your guide (Outro) So feel the quiver, let it pass And let the present moment last My gratitude becomes the key That in this moment sets me free
