[Bruce Cockburn - Northern Lights lyrics]
Sunday night and it's half past nine
Sunday night and it's half past nine
It's Sunday night and it's half past nine
I'm leaving one more town behind
The mirrors are showing the day's last glow
The mirrors are showing the day's last glow
The mirrors are showing the day's last glow
As we're spit out into the jigsaw flow
Ahead where there should be
The thickness of night
Ahead where there should be
The thickness of night
Ahead where there should be
The thickness of night stars are pinned on a
Shimmering curtain of light
Sky full of rippling cliffs and chasms
A sky full of rippling cliffs and chasms
A sky full of rippling cliffs and chasms
That shine like signs on the road to heaven
I've been cut by the
Beauty of jagged mountains
Cut by the beauty of jagged mountains
I've been cut by the
Beauty of jagged mountains
And cut by the love that flows
Like a fountain from God
So I carry these scars, precious and rare
I carry these scars, precious and rare
I carry these scars, precious and rare
And tonight I feel like I'm made of air
Sunday night and it's half past nine
It's Sunday night and it's half past nine
I'm leaving one more town behind
The mirrors are showing the day's last glow
The mirrors are showing the day's last glow
The mirrors are showing the day's last glow
As we're spit out into the jigsaw flow
Ahead where there should be
The thickness of night
Ahead where there should be
The thickness of night
Ahead where there should be
The thickness of night stars are pinned on a
Shimmering curtain of light
Sky full of rippling cliffs and chasms
A sky full of rippling cliffs and chasms
A sky full of rippling cliffs and chasms
That shine like signs on the road to heaven
I've been cut by the
Beauty of jagged mountains
Cut by the beauty of jagged mountains
I've been cut by the
Beauty of jagged mountains
And cut by the love that flows
Like a fountain from God
So I carry these scars, precious and rare
I carry these scars, precious and rare
I carry these scars, precious and rare
And tonight I feel like I'm made of air
