Northern Lights
Heather Christie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time you call my name
I know that you'll be right there - say you will
Even if the roughest seas take me out and batter me
You're my first sign of land

I get to moving on - moving on
With the pulse of the dark sky
When I see you moving on - moving on
I can see your beauty in the darkest night

You're like the northern lights
In the winter burning bright, babe
You touch me like the northern lights
I feel it warming me up like a light in the dark
You touch me like the northern lights
Make me feel bright through the night
You reach me like the northern lights
No matter how far away, you show me that it's alright

Every time I'm looking down
I know that you'll be around
Like a sign, like a star
Even in the blackest night
Your colors light up my skies
With a real sign

I get to moving on - moving on
When the sun goes down across horizons
When I see you moving on - moving on
I can see your beauty in the darkest night

You're like the northern lights
In the winter burning bright, babe
You touch me like the northern lights
I feel it warming me up like a light in the dark
You touch me like the northern lights
Make me feel bright through the night
You reach me like the northern lights
No matter how far away, you show me that it's alright





The way you cut through the dark like a knife blows my mind
The way you cut through the dark like a knife blows my mind
