By Northern Light (2008) Lyrics by Oysterband

The Oxford Girl and Other Stories

0

[Verse 1]
Walking away
You were walking away forever
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Fear and beauty shake my heart
Memories pursue me
Not to let them break my heart
I let the wave roll through me
[Chorus]
See these things by northern light
You'll never see them clearer
Love's as short as summer nights
By northern light, my dear
[Verse 2]
Touching your face
It's the braille of a blind affection
Taking for grace
Spark that must find the 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Fear and beauty shake my heart
Memories pursue me
Not to let them break my heart
I let the wave roll through me
[Chorus]
See these things by northern light
You'll never see them clearer
Love's as short as summer nights
By northern light, my dear
[Pre-Chorus]
Fear and beauty shake my heart
Not to let them break my heart
[Chorus]
See these things by northern light
You'll never see them clearer
Love's as short as summer nights
By northern light
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
