[Verse 1]
Back to the cold restless streets at night
Talk to myself about tomorrow night
Walls of white protest, a gravestone in name
Who is it now? It's always the same

[Verse 2]
Who is it now? Who calls me inside?
Are the leaves on the trees just a living disguise?
I walk the street rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again to the street melody

[Chorus]
But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know

[Post-Chorus]
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees

[Verse 3]
Life through a window, discoloured pain
Mrs. Brown's washing is always the same
I walk the street rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again to the street melody
[Chorus]
But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know

[Bridge]
Do you feel in me
Anything redeeming
Any worthwhile feeling?
Is love like a tightrope
Hanging from the ceiling?

[Chorus]
But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know

[Post-Chorus]
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees

[Outro]
Shadows, shadows, shadows
Shadows, shadows, shadows
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows, shadows, shadows
Shadows, shadows, shadows
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
