Northern Lights

The scent of flowers
Comes floating on a breeze
A glance from your eyes
And a smile just to tease
?The silent groove flowing?
Stars that fill the air
?Some people are gathering
At the county fair
Rollercoasters and clowns
Elephants and tents
And gypsies all around
A shower of fallen stars
Draped across the sky
As the northern lights ripple
In the northern night sky
In the northern night sky

Riding white horses
Through the amber fields
Climbing red rock mountains
Sleeping on grass hills
I'd sing you to sleep
After the evening's prayers
Hoping for a future
?Without no despair?

CHORUS:
Come on down to the river today
We can sit on the docks
And watch the children play
As the boats are a sailing
We can watch the seagulls fly
We can cool our feet swimming in the river's tide
Swimming in the river's tide

When I look in your eyes
I can feel all your sadness
A lifetime's worth of work
So much extra baggage
A thousand dreams of sunny days
Each one with its own story
If only one would come true
Just a little taste of the glory
My heart cries out loud
?It calls like the wild flame burning proud?
And i feel myself yearning
As I pray for the healing
And it seems like there's
Just no escape from this feeling
No escape from these feelings

CHORUS
