And in the moment well I'm so alive
and so awake
But every sound and every note
would chase my thoughts away
Within the night I sense a
will I know I'll never break
As i gaze beyond the window
where the morning waits

The Northern Lights are calling
To the rhythm of the sea
The Northern Lights are calling me

But the solitude of sleeplessness
can be beautiful
Never silent,
never still beyond our window-sill.
There's a roar beneath the streets
beneath the city lights,
great machines careering home
amidst the heat, into the night

The Northern Lights are calling
To the rhythm of the sea
The Northern Lights are calling me

In the night I keep forgetting
all the love, the good that you send me
All of the things we've made
All they could take away

Catch a light and take a pull
upon the lungs so tight
that you squeeze away the thoughts
that fill your empty frame
Hang the phone upon the hook
cos out of mind is out of sight
so press a finger to the flame
slender shape chalk white

The Northern Lights are calling
To the rhythm of the sea
The Northern Lights are calling me
