David Gray I Tremble for You song lyrics

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 backstreet of thrills

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

And then I treat shame like some old friend from home

That I can lean on 'til the misery is gone

A new day is here, but nothing is new

And you're still gone, still I tremble for you

I cry out at bedtime, "oh please, not tonight"

When 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—

Still sleep doesn't come, and I tremble for you
