If you go back many years Before the time was recording Before the Northern Lights were showing If you want to wait For a little while You will hear the little voice That comes to us so very near
If you want to rest Your aching limbs, See the fires coming from the North Give me your guiding hand Let the years roll on past Leave me your golden sands Lt me once again last To see the fires, for their worth.
If you go back centuries old Watching the sky fires hold A laughing antelope’s head That sticks in the eye instead That mountains will crumble into the sea Rivers dry up thus whither the tree.
If you want to wait For a little while If you want to rest Your wasting limbs Go back many years To the time when you go North For centuries past We never really last More than one, so I’m told When you become so very old.
If you want to stay inside of here Rest your weary head beside each year Well into the lasting night Keeping your eyes out of sight The North star will be your only light The shape of which is our delight From paradise the word was won From Utopia the word was born I tore the books limb from limb Re-wrote every sacred hymn For life is struggling within The light is now becoming dim I was dripping with a grin Where Northern Lights are on the brim Of gardens inside everyone’s brain.
