Lyrics
By Northern Light
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Walking away
You were walking away for ever
No more to say
End of heart's endeavour
Bitter the wind on the back of my neck
Bitter the glance that you threw me
Bitter the wave on the knuckle of rock
Time and tide will cover
Fear and beauty shake my heart
Memories pursue me
Not to let them break my heart
I let the wave roll through me
SEE THESE THINGS BY NORTHERN LIGHT
YOU'LL NEVER SEE THEM CLEARER
LOVE'S AS SHORT AS SUMMER NIGHTS
BY NORTHERN LIGHT... MY DEAR
Touching your face
The braille of blind affection
Taking for grace
The spark that must find connection
Easy the breeze on the pond in the park
Easy the laughter that drew me
Easy the walk hand in hand until dark
Glow of the lamp's reflection
Fear and beauty...
