River of Brightness Lyrics by Roddy Frame

The North Star

1998

[Verse 1]
At the end of it all
'Neath the moon's watchful eye
I wanna be judged next to you
'Cause to the beat of my heart
You set a small revolution
And no one ever touched me so surely
It's a veil drawn aside
[Chorus]
And revealed is the real world
And it feels like my world
From the ring on your finger
So cold on my skin
To the diamond-light stars long ago
The river of brightness flows
[Verse 2]
On the end of the pier
Saw the sun slidin' down
On the dyin' embers of an empire
See their faces appear
Everyone who was ever sold out and laid low
Their voices submerged in the sound of a choir
We've got time on our side
[Chorus]
And revealed is the real world
And it feels like my world
From the crystal cold winter
So petrified and numb
That the blazin' bright sun overthrows
The river of brightness flows
[Bridge]
See, it starts with a glint
Of a sparkle in the eye
And a breath becomes a word becomes a deed
And if the deed is done right
The whole world's set alight
But if you hesitate it goes
And you're dammin' up the river
Just to figure how it flows
If that's the price of knowin'
Maybe I don't wanna know
[Chorus]
It feels like the real world
And it feels like our world
From the ring on your finger
So cold on my skin
To the diamond-light stars long ago
The river of brightness flows
