Floating like a dream cloud above the lake Drifting in and out of sight Forty miles above us Watching the Northern Lights Watching the Northern Lights Watching the Northern Lights Watching the Northern Lights In the true northern darkness Far from the sleeping towns We lay there in silence Young and free, half asleep, spellbound We were watching the Northern Lights Watching the Northern Lights Watching the Northern Lights In my mind after all this time The memory is still clear All I find I leave behind The song is my souvenir Watching the Northern Lights Watching the Northern Lights Watching the Northern Lights Watching the Northern Lights
