about
album Exclusive
'It's been so rewarding re-recording Northern Lights with John Holden and 'friends' for this most worthwhile cause.The icing on the cake for me was getting to play with Gavin Harrison again after all these years.
It's a great song and think the new approach works incredibly well'
Jon Camp
lyrics
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
Destination 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
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
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
