Northern Lights_clav6

[Verse 1] I traced the outline of your hand Against a sky no map had planned The stars were drowned in violet seas And shaken by a restless breeze We came to watch the darkness glow Like lanterns learning how to grow [Drop] Your fingers found the space between My own, and held it, warm and clean [Pre-Verse 1] You whispered low, a silver thread As dancing light hung overhead Like ribbons woven out of air That drifted through the frozen prayer Your breath was soft against my ear The only sound I cared to hear [Chorus] The northern lights are calling out A silent, shifting, shining shout They paint the night in emerald fire Like brushstrokes on a midnight spire A river flowing through the sky A whispered answer to our why [Drop] [Instrumental] [Verse 2] The frost was biting at our feet A thousand needles in the sleet But overhead the colors bled Like roses pouring from a thread You held your breath and I held mine Beneath a sky of shattered wine [Pre-Verse 2] I pulled you close against the cold And felt your heartbeat, brave and bold You looked at me the way you do And all the frozen world felt new [Chorus] The northern lights are calling out A silent, shifting, shining shout They paint the night in emerald fire Like brushstrokes on a midnight spire A river flowing through the sky A whispered answer to our why [Post-Chorus] Don't let the morning come too soon Don't trade this magic for the moon [Bridge] When daylight breaks and steals the show Like thieves who take the things we know I'll memorize the way you smiled A secret kept from the wild The little scar upon your brow The way you laughed and don't know how I'll keep the moment that we kissed Beneath the sky's green amethyst [Big Chorus] The northern lights are calling out A silent, shifting, shining shout They paint the night in emerald fire Like brushstrokes on a midnight spire A river flowing through the sky A whispered answer to our why The northern lights, a memory A lantern burning over me [Outro] Hold the hour like a flame Before it flickers out again Your hand in mine, the quiet proof That love can live beneath this roof
