Northern Lights
Simon Patterson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As the sun

As the sun came out, it was warm across our shoulders
As it went back down, all the lights were all around us
But we won't look down, 'cause all we know has fallen
Yeah we won't look back, 'cause that's not where we're going

Let me go

As the sun came out, it was warm across our shoulders
As it went back down, all the lights were all around us
But we won't look down, 'cause all we know has fallen
Yeah we won't look back, 'cause that's not where we're going





Let me go As the sun
