I asked my friend Kristian for a melody that he might have "hanging-around" to write some lyrics for and he sent me this really beautiful composition. I tried to capture the mood of that piece with some appropriate lyrics and "Northern Lights" resulted.

Come let me show you a shimmering light
That will dance high above us tonight, tonight
Starts with a kiss
that's blown hot from our star
A light embrace, hugging the poles,
drawing souls from afar

Chorus:

Words, can't describe the view
when I'm standing here with you
We are all alone, no sounds
dare disturb the crisp cool air
And I'll, warm you in my arms
Explore a universe of two
Make you gasp at the edge of space
Northern Lights your glowing face

Come let me show you
bright gossamer trails
They are not where you look,
but all round you they hail
Shooting star arrows rain down from the sky
And there's one, born on the wind,
bound for you and for I

Chorus: Words, can't describe the view...


Break:

Wrapped up in our worlds,
never time to know
Wrapped up in ourselves,
never time to grow, oh to grow
Wrapped up in our lives,
we have no time to see
Wrapped up in ourselves
never time to be,
just to be

Chorus: Words can't describe the view...

Come let me show you
some one you don't know
Standing right before you
hidden in your shadow
Flying so high I feel the world spin by
Hold me tight, drink in the sight dear,
soon dawn will blind our eyes

Chorus: Words can't describe the view...
