Luke Ritchie Northern Lights lyrics

And in the moment I was so alive and so awake,
and every sound and every note would chase my thoughts away.
Within the night I sense a will I know I'll never break,
as I gaze beyond the window where the morning waits.

The Northern Lights are calling me,
to the rhythm of the sea,
the Northern Lights are calling.

But the solitude of sleeplessness can be beautiful.
Never silent, never still beneath my window-sill.
There's a roar beneath the streets, beneath the city lights,
great machines careering home amidst the heat into the night.


But in the night I keep forgetting
all the love, the good that you send me.
All of the things we made,
all they could take away.

Catch a light and take a pull upon the lungs so tight,
till you squeeze away the thoughts that fill your empty frame.
Hang the phone upon the hook, cos out of mind is out of sight,
Put a finger to the flame, slender shape chalk white.
