Northern Light

The night
As clear as a whispered hymn
And still as the day's end
I remembered a northern light
And I remembered you said to me
It's cold when the wind's blowing
But I'd stand with you rooted now
With all my days growing down
And time
Turn swift at the wheel and sway
And wind through the roadways
I was driving off through the night
The lights hung beneath the moon
And shined in the rearview
And flew off where my heart was found
With all my days growing down
The shadows wane in the light
When you're driving over the lines
The stars are falling all around
With all my days growing down

Two Rivers
03:32

It's a long way home
It's long and winding
Like two rivers across the lines
The wind is howling out
Where the weathered streets divide
With our arms fallen at our sides
Just standing at the arches
Of a thousand winding stairs
That'll never wait
And what were the words I meant to say
But for now they'll stay
'Cause we're sewn together and untied
Like two rivers across the lines
It's a long way home
It's long and winding
Like two rivers across the lines
And we're standing at the arches
Of a thousand winding stairs
That'll never wait

Colors On The Ground

The days are counting few
For following the streets that we used to
And the birds are passing by
The winter came and took you by surprise
So I took the train out in the night
And I want to be part of the light
And be carried over fields of white
But who knows how long we'll be alive
The sun is sinking down
And we're kicking at the colors on the ground
And the birds are passing by
The winter came and took you by surprise
So I took the train out in the night
And I want to be part of the light
And be carried over fields of white
Bit who knows how long we'll be alive

Honey, You Don't Know
03:24

I was waiting for the nightfall
And remembered when you said sometime
When you're gone I bet you'd say
"Oh honey, you don't know how to smile"
And tenderness on your face
I caught your gaze in my mind
The sun had set and I thought you'd say
"Oh honey, you don't know how to smile"
Rows of cobblestones on the road veer
And bend in waves through summer fields
Like a whisper blowing in the pale light
Saying, "you don't know how to smile"
I was waiting for the nightfall
Like an evening bell and a vacant chime
And when you're gone I bet you'd say
"Oh honey, you don't know how to smile"
Rows of cobblestones on the road veer
And bend in waves through summer fields
Like a whisper blowing in the pale light
Saying, "you don't know how to smile"
"Oh honey, you don't know how to smile"
