I'm just a passing ship in the dark Never stay 'til the morning, makes leaving too hard I've made a living breaking young girls hearts It ain't no fun when your heart's the one that starts falling apart. So when the day turns to night And the path is hard to find Won't you be my northern lights ? Anything I've ever loved, I found a way to lose Anything I've ever lost, I've found an excuse So don't give up on me, babe, if it's the last thing you do Don't cut the strings of the only thing I'm holding on to. 'Cause when the day turns to night And the path is hard to find Won't you be my northern lights ? And I'm tired of running away And I'm tired of bringing you down I'm just hoping there's a way We can turn this ship around. When the day turns to night And the path is hard to find Won't you be my northern lights ? Northern lights.
