Northern Lights

in the last days before the end Of summer then the snow descends She lead me through her town to see the opera I pictured all of the places I could go with her I've never seen The Northern Lights Or a sun That won't set at night We drank the wine upon your shelf I tried behaving myself Maybe you thought that you could Hold me responsible But then you realized that that's Not even possible I've never seen The Northern Lights Or a sun That won't set at night You told me how your scar was made At that my car was now snowed in You sort of laughed at the attempts I made And took your medicine and gin The winter sun's Low shadow casts Across the harbour and empty masts The Viking ghosts The frozen trees And the empty streets she walked with me You showed me where the bomb went off And the way you walked to school Through the forest where you used live Where the winters are so cruel I've never seen The Northern Lights Or a sun That won't set at night You never knew And I'm not sure If I don't belong Here anymore
