[Intro] Under the northern fire... [Verse 1] Snow on the roof of the sleeping land Light in the sky like an open hand I do not call you by a name I sing the shape of your flame [Pre-Chorus] Round and round the old road goes Soft as breath above the snow [Chorus] Northern fire, carry me Over the white and silent sea If love is a light too far to hold Let it warm the winter cold [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] Fiddle bends where the pine trees lean Blue stars fall in the river green I keep your shadow in my song Not too high, but deep and long [Bridge] No wild drum, no sudden cry Only a circle in the sky Let the joik become a thread Between the living and the dead [Final Chorus] Northern fire, carry me Over the white and silent sea If love is a light too far to hold Let it warm the winter cold [Outro] Under the northern fire...
