Northern Lights

Moons pass, but the sun never rises
And something in the air
Says to "eat what's on your plate."
And maybe your walking 'cross an endless sheet of white
Beneath an almost endless night
You've never been so cold
But you feel something warm
And bright

She's strange, she is so familiar
You just look at her back
And your hair stands on its ends
And maybe she leads you to a garden and invites
You to release your lips and bite
Through all that you've been told

You drink from a cup that is broken
And its lonely in this crowd
Guess you'll just go home to bed
And maybe your caught beneath a softly shifting sky
And find that somehow just behind
Is every sacred thing you thought you'd sold

She's strange, she is so familiar
And something in the air
Says to "eat what's on your plate."
And maybe you're feeling a bit harder to excite
You're thinking maybe it's not right
You've never been so old

And maybe your walking 'cross a river late at night
A friend you can't remember is standing softly at your side
And you feel the current pulling
But you have no need to fight
Because you see yourself reflected
In the water and her eyes
Look up
Look up tonight
She's dancing
The Northern Lights
