My Own Face Inside The Trees lyrics

All the pines that shiver in the park 
Kick my fever through the dark 
Through the railings and the iron 
Empty bars and tenement lines 
Something slips back into place 
For a second there's a trace 
Of my face inside the trees 
Sudden light in everything 

I get up and head down into work 
Running errands like a jerk 
But the fever does me in 
Never touching anything 
Like the sea inside a shell 
Everything speaks to itself 
Darkness comes at half-past three 
My own face is in the trees 

For six years I have seen a friend 
In summer crowds in Europe 
When the evening falls 
For six years I have seen a friend 
In summer crowds in Europe 
When the evening falls 

So I left myself back in the night 
Moving into clearer light 
Neither here nor really gone 
Both surrounded and alone 
Like the sea inside a shell 
Everything speaks to itself 
Darkness comes at half-past three 
My own face is in the trees
