All of a Tremble
St. Christopher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have said too much in memory
I don't know why
I'm forever learning
Why be so decieving
When it's all to no avail
I could take you serious again
I know you will
I've tried to warn you
I've tried to tell you
But it's all to no avail
You've got me all of a tremble
If it takes a thousand years
Then I must try to catch her
I could make those promises again
Even though I crucify your attitude again
If I should fail...
If it takes a thousand years
Then I must try
If it takes a million years
Then I must try
To catch her, catch her, catch her...
