lyrics

Northern Lights:

Funny is the time of year
Nobody’s familiar here,
No surprise I’ve lost my keys,
I made a circle in a rowing boat,
A broken compass stuck in my throat,
Oh I’m all at sea.

But maybe it’s the big test,
Pack everything into a box,
If there’s grace left,

We’ll see the Northern Light show,
and I'll tell you reasons why I play the clown,
The heroes only ever go and let you down,
We’ll see the Northern Light show,
but the colour’s fading out too fast,
Superman was only ever made of glass,
We’ll see the Northern Light show,
And see what the light shows...

I’m tying down all I can find,
Holding on to nursery rhymes,
To the string that marked out my tracks,
It’s true that there’s been harder knocks,
But it seems to me the mornings’ clock strikes one with all that I lack,

Time for me to confess,
To admit I tried to catch a glimpse of what grace was left,

And we’ll see the Northern Lights show,
I'll tell you reasons why I play the clown,
The heroes only ever go and let you down,
We’ll see the Northern Lights show,
but the colour’s fading out too fast,
Superman was only ever made of glass,
We’ll see the Northern Light show,

And its all I can do,
To save us from the undeniable truth,
Be brave enough to fall away to grow new,
The everything in the light show...
The light show...

So hold on to your tears,
There’s nothing to fear in the light show,

We’ll see the Northern Lights show,
I'll tell you reasons why I play the clown,
The heroes only ever go and let you down,
We’ll see the Northern Lights show,
but the colour’s fading out too fast,
Superman was only ever made of glass,

We’ll see the Northern Light show,
I'll tell you reasons why I play the clown,
The heroes only ever go and let you down,
We’ll see the Northern Light show,
And we’ll see what the light shows,
We’ll see the Northern Light show,
Forget about your tears in the light show,
In the light show...
