Northern skies

I met her down in Brunswick heads

Staring across the river beds

Thinking what it takes to live a life

Well I looked across at one that knew 42 years tried and true

She said I can feel my body letting go

Well bodies they're just wax and wick

And the bright ones sometimes burn down quick

Life is in the giving of your flame

Those who know her well

Know her underneath the Northern Skies

Those who know her well

Know her underneath the Northern Skies

Well you know where you're going to

In this life we're just passing through

And we can only take the things we gave While you spent your time down here

Occupied with others care

A garden quietly grew within your heart

She believed that we are all one family

She believed that hope it is just like a seed

Those who know her well

Know her underneath the Northern Skies

Those who know her well

Feel the love with which she touched their lives
