Lyrics
Let A Tremor Run
vs1
If we are leaves that fall upon the ground
To lose our greeness on a bitter mound
If we are flowers that must lie torn and creased
No touch of sweetness in our ruined decease
pre-chorus
If we are weeds whom no one wise can trust
To live an hour before we turn to dust
chorus
Then let a tremor through our briefness run
For in the weed and fern I saw the sun
Let a tremor through our briefness run
Let a tremor run
vs2
Love wraps in with sweet sorcery
Stringing beads like a rosary
Fire against the dew, and lily white
A wild perfume into the light
pre-chorus2
If we are weeds whom no one wise can trust
To live an hour before we turn to dust
chorus2
Then let a tremor through our briefness run
For in the weed and fern I saw the sun
Let a tremor through our briefness run
Let a tremor run
Outro
Let a tremor run
Let a tremor run
Let a tremor run
