Destination outward bound,I turn to see the northern lights
behind the wing.
Horizons seem to beckon me. Learned how to cry too young,
so now I live to sing.
The northern lights are in my mind, they guide me back to you.
Horizons seem to beckon me. Learned how to cry too young,
so now I live to sing.
Though it's hard away from you, travelling roads and passing through,
it's not for money and it's not for fame. I just can't explain,
sometimes it's lonely. Marking the space between the days.
Early hours pass away, I sing to you of northern lights, I
sing for you of northern nights.
Past or future, here or there, shelter comes in words from you,
so talk to me.
I hear your voice, it comforts me.
In morning dreams I take your hand, you walk with me.
The northern lights are in my mind, they guide me back to you.
Peace enfolds the still night air. Home again, I look for you and
find you there.
Destination homeward now. Take the easy way, bring me down.
Making the hard way now, I see.
Hard to be really free. I'm missing you near me.
Marking the space between the days. Early hours pass away.
I sing to you of northern lights.
I sing for you of northern nights.
The northern lights are in my mind, they guide me back to you.
The northern lights are in my mind, they guide me back to you.
(repeat and fade)
