A field of fireflies
Remembered
From my youth
That's the truth and nothing but
There are things we all gave up
But not their essence
I know it's hard to see ahead
But that fog is in your head
And so is the shaking
Outside it's windswept and unkempt
Got seastacks to our left
Legends in the making
Northern lights
Brought to life
Only a fool would let them go
Northern skies
Come alive
How much do we really need to know?
Damned if we do,
Damned if we don't
These nights go phosphorescent
Luminous and ruinous
We can count our ways back home
On just one hand
And in the harbor town
There's a breezeway bar
Where we can hunker down
April is the cruelest month
The bastard child
Of this frozen ground
Northern lights
Brought to life
Only a fool would let them go
Northern skies
Come alive
How much do we really need to know?
And the boat leaves twice a week
Expectant and repentant
And unhinged
What the passage costs,
We know not
Just coins to rub
We're stuck here thick or thin
And X, it marks the spot
Where we forgot
Our manners and our whims
Don't go gentle into that night
Wild resistance is
The only thing that wins
Northern lights
Brought to life
Only a fool would let them go
Northern skies
Come alive
What do we really need to know?
A good friend said it's time to quit on love
I might be grim
But hey, I'm not the reaper
Kept me afloat these months
Not sure this is what you want
But in my heart,
You are a keeper (low)
And when we go, we'll go big
Dig as deep as we can dig
Good. Better. Best (down)
This island has no class
So Let's just kick its ass
And ride them
Trade. Winds. Back.
Northern lights
Brought to life
Only a fool would let them go
Northern skies
Come alive
What do we really need to know
