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.
Luces del Norte
Las lunas pasan, pero el sol nunca sale.
Y algo en el aire,
Dice 'come lo que está en tu plato'.
Y tal vez estás caminando sobre una interminable capa de blanco
Bajo una noche casi interminable,
Nunca has tenido tanto frío.
Pero sientes algo cálido,
Y brillante,
Ella es extraña, es tan familiar.
Solo la miras de espaldas,
Y se te eriza el cabello.
Y tal vez te lleva a un jardín e invita
A liberar tus labios y morder
A través de todo lo que te han dicho.
Bebes de una copa rota.
Y estás solo en esta multitud,
Supongo que simplemente irás a casa a dormir.
Y tal vez estás atrapado bajo un cielo suavemente cambiante
Y descubres que de alguna manera justo detrás,
Está cada cosa sagrada que pensaste haber vendido.
Ella es extraña, es tan familiar,
Y algo en el aire,
Dice 'come lo que está en tu plato'.
Y tal vez te sientes un poco más difícil de emocionar,
Estás pensando que tal vez no es correcto,
Nunca has sido tan viejo.
Y tal vez estás caminando sobre un río tarde en la noche.
Un amigo que no puedes recordar está parado suavemente a tu lado.
Y sientes la corriente tirando,
Pero no necesitas luchar,
Porque te ves reflejado,
En el agua y en sus ojos.
Mira arriba.
Mira arriba esta noche,
Ella está bailando,
Las Luces del Norte.
