lyrics

I'm standing on the northland highway
There's a red moon down the road
I'm standing on the northland highway
There's a red moon down the road
I can hear the midnight coming
The sun went down ten days ago

I dreamed about the last time I saw you
There were tears in the sky
I dreamed about the last time I saw you
There were tears in the sky
I just don't remember
Whether it was September or July

I'm watching the northern lights a-flashing
Green ribbons overhead
I'm watching the northern lights a-flashing
Green ribbons overhead
I can see them changing colours
Just like the last words you said

I'm standing on the northland highway
A thousand miles past your door
I'm standing on the northland highway
A thousand miles past your door
And I'm about to go somewhere
That I've never been before
