NORTHERN LIGHTS
(Don Lange)

Wendy moves in silent hours
at the close of day,
Pirate schemes and baseball dreams
Have all been thrown away,
Solitude wings through her window
like a bird on a summer breeze,
And though I'm 1000 miles away I hear her melody.

She has seen her share of sorrow--
she's got the scars to show,
But she always keeps them hidden
so no one ever knows,
The paring knife, the second wife,
the 16 hour day,
When a woman draws on a woman's strength,
a man gets in the way.

(chorus)
I don't want to say I love you--
I saw a sign that said dead end,
I just want to hold you close to me
when loneliness closes in,
I don't want to say I love you,
I don't think I can take that pain,
You were the Northern Lights on a July night
and I was a southbound train,
You were the Northern Lights on that July night,
And I was a southbound train.

I've got a long, long road ahead,
I've got a lot of things to learn,
When good men lie, the fireflies,
Everyone gets burned,
And when the heartache passed through me
and doubled back on you,
The jester put away his mask
because his heart was true.

(chorus)
