Destination outward bound

I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing

Horizons seem to beckon me

Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing



The northern lights are in my mind

They guide me back to you

Horizons seem to beckon me

Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing



You know it's hard away from you

Travelling roads and passing through

It's not for money and it's not for fame

I just can't explain, sometimes it's lonely



Marking the space between the days

Early hours pass away

I sing to you of northern lights

I sing for you of northern nights



Past or future, here or there

Shelter comes in words from you, so talk to me

I hear your voice, it comforts me

In morning dreams I take your hand, you walk with me



The northern lights are in my mind

They guide me back to you

Peace enfolds the still night air

Home again I look for you and find you there



Desintation homeward now

Take the easy way, bring me down

Making the hard way now I see

Hard to be really free, I'm missing you near me



Marking the space between the days

Early hours pass away

I sing to you of northern lights

I sing for you of northern nights



[Chorus:]

The northern lights are in my mind

They guide me back to you

The northern nights are in my eyes

They guide me back to you



[Chorus 2x]



The northern lights are in my mind

They guide me back to you
