Everything Shivering Songtext
von Devon Church

The night so cold and blue and pure
Everything was shivering
Ice was forming on the stairs
Everything was shivering
Even the buildings, even the air
Everything was shivering
The moonlit trees like nerve endings
Everything was shivering
The stars were frozen, shattering
Everything was shivering
As I walked home through Winnipeg
Everything was shivering


The tape inside my walkman slowed
Tt does that when it gets this cold
Visions of Johanna played
′The ghost of electricity
In baritone at half time speed
The moments forming, unique, strange
Ice crystals on a window pane
Everything was shivering

I took my frozen headphones off
Everything was shivering
The vision ghost is here, I thought
Everything was shivering
I said a poem that I forgot
Everything was shivering
And the reverberations never stopped
Everything was shivering
Silence shivered in me then
Everything was shivering
And it shivers now in everything
Everything shivering


The tape inside my walkman slowed
It does that when it gets this cold
Visions of Johanna played
'The ghost of electricity
In baritone at half time speed
The moments forming, unique, strange
Ice crystals on a window pane
Everything was shivering
