Shiver And Shake - Ryan Adams
from there album Prisoner (2017)
She sat across the table, a glass of wine in her hand. Behind her, streams of taxi cabs created a kinetic backdrop, yet all I saw were those eyes, that smile. As she spoke, time melted, and my head finally caught up with my heart. "I love you."
As we left the restaurant, I never felt closer. She asked me to kiss her. Soon after, she got in her car and drove off. I stood on the street a while, hoping she would return, but this was her goodbye.
Was Shiver And Shake written from me to her, or her to me? I am never quite sure.
I first heard this song while driving along an interstate, my head full of wine, in the blue light before dawn. I must have hit repeat four dozen times. Is this really our song? Our destiny?
The next day, I put the record away, but dusted it off today. It is quite a tune.
As I listen, so many tender memories circle around my head. Yet in the final scene, she still rides off into the night, as I stand - wanting - on Champa Street.
