Bruce Cockburn Northern Lights Lyrics

Northern Lights Lyrics

Sunday night and it's half past nine

Sunday night and it's half past
nine

Sunday night and it's half past nine

I'm leaving one more town
behind 



Mirrors are showing the day's last glow

Mirrors are
showing the day's last glow

Mirrors are showing the day's last glow

As we're spit out into the jigsaw flow 



Ahead where there
should be the thickness of night

Stars are pinned on a shimmering curtain
of light 



Sky full of rippling cliffs and chasms

That shine
like signs on the road to heaven... 



I've been cut by the beauty
of jagged mountains

And cut by the love that flows like a fountain from
God. 



So I carry these scars, precious and rare,

And tonight
I feel like I'm made of air...
