Northern Lights - Death Cab for Cutie

I remember your silhouette on Dyes Inlet

Against 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

Northern lights filled our skies

Empty nights synchronized

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

Northern lights filled our skies

Empty nights synchronized

Northern lights filled our skies

Empty nights synchronized

I remember your silhouette on Dyes Inlet

Northern lights filled our skies

Empty nights synchronized

Northern lights filled our skies

Empty nights synchronized
