Gives You the Shivers

Gives You the Shivers

lying with your ghost lover
under the night sky
all lit-up under a black moon
it’s good to just lie
and the rush is just
so very cold and wet
on the banks of a river it
gives you the shivers

you watch him hovering as
time it rushes past
I don’t ever know where it goes
in the space so vast
but I see him above
clear against a black sky
his life was such a sliver it
gives you the shivers

lying with your ghost lover
under the night sky
all lit-up by a black moon
it’s good to just lie
and the rush is just
oh, he showed me that
on the banks of a cold river
love is a giver

at first I was afraid, but
he said, “don’t worry
it’s only water
and it would never hurt you”
