One Night On Earth

I shook from my dream I wasn't here To shake from my own sight Shake, ache from the light of everything Shake for that which sinks but can't drown Your face It will not be back again Oh fate, your face To summon it away is to back down I'm not so alone in here tonight The light shines off the pennies in the street And love feels such a plausible delight And now I've learnt the lyrics in full to Auld Lang Sine Oh fate, Your face It will not be back again Oh fate, your face To summon it away Oh fate, Your face It will not be back again Oh fate, your face To summon it away is to back down Now the wolves all howl And the birds all sing it: "He backed down"
