Northern Light.

Northern Light

I could never seem to catch the moonlight
didnt work out how to climb this tree
wanted to jump on a boat
never managed to get to the sea
if only i could fish
i would be
you know i would be
free
like the ocean waves
that i cant seem to reach
never managed to build a castle on the beach
before the tide
never managed to find a home
before the tide
came rushing in like northen lights
under a sky of purple and green
the things i loved the way i could see
all i wanted to share
only thing was
it was all just a dream
the wind blowing
a distant memory
through your hair
i couldnt understand what magic was at all
never worked out what it was
that made the water fall
do you know what it is that makes the water falls
i think it must be you
did you know you made me smile
wider than any other northern light
you made me smile
wider than any of those northern stars
that maybe one day
well actually get to see
before the tide comes rushing in
to fill this hole weve dug
to lie in weeds again
drifting gently
yet we never do
make it
no we never did
quite make it
catch,
a fire
like
silver moonshine
on the sea.
