Oysterband - By Northern Light lyrics

Walking away You were walking away for ever No more to say End of the heart's endeavour Bitter the wind on the back of my neck Bitter the glance that you threw me Bitter the wave on the knuckle of rock Time and tide will cover CHORUS Fear and beauty shake my heart Memories pursue me Not to let them break my heart I let the wave roll through me ... See these things by northern light You'll never see them clearer Love's as short as summer nights By northern light, My dear Touching your face The braille of blind affection Taking for grace The spark that must find connection Easy the breeze on the pond in the park Easy the laughter that drew me Easy the walk hand-in-hand until dark Glow of the lamp's reflection CHORUS x2 See these things by northern light You'll never see them clearer Love's as short as summer nights By northern light, My dear My dear
