One Night on Earth Lyrics

I shook from my dream I wasn't here
To shake, shake from my own sight.
Shake, shake, from the light of everything
Shake, shake, for that which sinks but can't drown
Your face, your face
It will not be back again
Oh fate, your face
To summon it away is to back down
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
Your face, your face
It will not be back again
Oh fate, your face
To summon it away to back down

Now the wolves all howl
And the birds all sing it:
"He backed down"
(x4)
Oh fate, Your face
It will not be back again
Oh fate, your face
To summon it away
Your face, Your face
It will not be back again
Oh fate, your face
To summon it away
is to back down.
