Northern Lights - Bowerbirds

I don’t need from you a waterfall of careless praise

And I don’t need a trophy for all the games I played

But all I want is your eyes

In the morning as we wake for a short while

And I don’t need you to catch my wandering mind

And I don’t expect a southern girl to know the northern lights

And all I want is your eyes

In the morning as we wake for a short while

And I do need the wind across my pale face

And I do need the fern to unfurl in the spring

And I do need the grass to sway

Yes, I do need to know my place

And all I want is your eyes

In the morning as we wake for a short while
