Northern Lights

I left a note on the windowsill

Just a shadow in the morning chill

The sky was low, the world stood still

But I had to chase the quiet thrill

Verse 2:

You always said I was born to roam

Like the stars that never call one place home

But I see your face in the afterglow

And I wonder if you’ll ever know

Chorus:

I’m gone where the northern lights burn slow

Over frozen fields and silent snow

They dance like fire in the sky tonight

But they don’t warm me, they don’t feel right

I’m a ghost in a world of green and white

Thinking of you under northern lights

Verse 3:

The silence here is a different kind

Not the peace I thought that I would find

Every color paints a memory

Of the love that you once gave to me

Bridge:

I thought freedom meant letting go

But now I just feel the pull below

Of roots I tried to leave behind

Calling louder than the lights can shine

Chorus:

I’m gone where the northern lights burn slow

Over frozen fields and silent snow

They dance like fire in the sky tonight

But they don’t warm me, they don’t feel right

I’m a ghost in a world of green and white

Still lost in you under northern lights

Outro:

Maybe someday I’ll find my way

Back to the words I couldn’t say

Till then I’ll drift through endless nights

Gone, but watching the northern lights
