Southern Lights

[Verse 1]
It’s too cold to be in the north, gotta move on
The sun goes down before the working day’s through
And there’s a girl three stops from mine that I cannot bring myself to find

[Chorus]
Southern Lights they call, follow me home
Southern Lights they call, follow me home

[Verse 2]
This northern sun is a softer kind, I could lay down
But the words from the birds and green from the trees unsettle me
And all around, these ancient towns have sugar lips with bitter mouths

[Chorus]
Southern Lights they call, follow me home
Southern Lights they call, follow me home

[Bridge]
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

[Verse 3]
December snow, it warms my soul
But I think I’ll stick with the 25th and sandy toes
And god I pray that I’ve been good as the gift I need is to be understood

[Chorus]
Southern Lights they call, follow me home
Southern Lights they call, follow me home
