I'm shaking all over, shaking all over 
I'm thinking it over, thinking it over and I thought I'd be okay 
Thought I spied my God on the shoulder of a white waves 
In the light on the water, some sight through the wave but 

That was just a trick of the eye 
That was just a trick of the eye 
I've been a party to my own sad righteous lie 

I'm shaking all over, shaking all over 
I'm thinking it over, thinking it over and I thought I'd seen a wave 
Thought I'd jump right down into the bottom of my own grave 
Be like Orpheus rising or Lazarus raise but 

I broke my own heart, I broke my own heart 
I slammed the lid down on my own, damn killing jar 
I'm shaking all over, shaking all over 
I'm thinking it over, thinking it over 

As if I spied my God on the shoulder of a white waves 
Like Cassandra believed or Lucifer saved but no, no, no 
Not now and never, nothing sacred 
I'm going down under a white wave 
I'm going down under a white wave
