Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember your silhouette
On Dyes Inlet
'Gainst the silver sheen of a moon
Like painted glass
Under stars, out on a pier
A celestial sphere
We were weightless as the waves that disappeared
[Verse 2]
Northern lights
Filled our skies
Empty nights
Synchronized
[Verse 3]
We shared a clove cigarette
On the parapet
As the TVs glowed
From the windows of the model homes
And I'd never be that close again
To your lips, and perfect skin
As the tide receded into the unknown
[Verse 4]
Northern lights
Filled our skies
Empty nights
Synchronized
[Verse 5]
Northern lights
Filled our skies
Empty nights
Synchronized
[Verse 6]
I remember your silhouette
On Dyes Inlet
[Verse 7]
Northern lights
Filled our skies
Empty nights
Synchronized
[Verse 8]
Northern lights
Filled our skies
Empty nights
Synchronized
