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 light?
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 light?
And I'm tired of running away
I'm tired of bringing you down
I'm just hoping there's a way
We can turn this ship around
'Cause when the day turns to night
And the path is hard to find
Won't you be my northern light?
Northern lights
