Aurora Lyrics

Would the colours find your eyes

If you went searching for the northern lights?

Or would your sickness cloud over

You mystic, you rover

All the beauty you were hoping to find?

When you saw them dance, did you whistle

And tempt them to come steal your life?

Or was your position to throw out superstition?

Did you hold a faint hope that they might?

When that Aurora

Blew up for ya

Did I cross your mind?

That old Borealis

It don't care about us

But I would scream out at those lights

All your friends say that your dark brown eyes

Turned a fiery green that night

When atom and ion

Gave the earth to you to lie on

And taught you it was senseless to fight

With your face in the sand, you remembered

That you came here with no guarantees

So you gave up insisting

Jettisoned resisting

And walked hand-in-hand with your disease

When that Aurora

Blew up for ya

Did I cross your mind?

That old Borealis

It don't care about us

But I would scream out at those lights

That our love was real

Like magnetic fields

And the sun's wind when they danced in our eyes
