Northern Skies

Northern Skies
I met her down in Brunswick heads
Staring across the river beds
Thinking what it takes to live a life
Well I looked across at one that knew 42 years tried and true

She said I can feel my body letting go
Well bodies they're just wax and wick
And the bright ones sometimes burn down quick
Life is in the giving of your flame
Those who know her well
Know her underneath the Northern Skies
Those who know her well
Know her underneath the Northern Skies
Well you know where you're going to
In this life we're just passing through
And we can only take the things we gave
While you spent your time down here
Occupied with others care
A garden quietly grew within your heart
She believed that we are all one family
She believed that hope it is just like a seed
Those who know her well
Know her underneath the Northern Skies
Those who know her well
Feel the love with which she touched their lives
