One Night On Earth - The Veils

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»
