THE NORTHERN LIGHTS OF LABRADOR
(Don Fulford)

I've travelled far by the northern star since the day that I was born.
From the Caribbean to New Orleans I've been inclined to roam,
And the beauty I've seen and the places I've been I thought I'd see no more,
'Til I saw the lights that shine so bright in the skies of Labrador.

Those northern lights that shine so bright when the night is cold and clear--
The snow is bright from the pale moonlight and silence fills the air.
I cast my eyes to those sparkling skies, and I can see once more
Those northern lights that shine so bright in the skies of Labrador.

This place I've heard in every word is far away and cold,
But I have found in this beautiful town a treasure as rich as gold:
Those dancing kites with their colours so bright each night as I look through my door;
Those northern lights that shine so bright in the skies of Labrador.

Sometimes when I'm down and there's no one around to tell my troubles to,
I stroll outside and I gaze at the sky and I'm no longer blue.
The night is still as I drink up my fill as if I'd see no more
Those northern lights that shine so bright in the skies of Labrador.

My time it will come like everyone when I must say goodbye.
I'll feel so sad as I look out the plane as it soars through the sky,
And I think of the time when I can say that I'll return once more
And see those lights that shine so bright in the skies of Labrador--
And see those lights that shine so bright in the skies of Labrador.
