Lyrics / The Wondering Traveler
GREENLAND (Aurora Lights)
No sirens here Just breath And the sky doing magic Airport lights feel miles apart Blue white glow on a frozen heart Boot prints cut through powdered glass Fjords stand still like they hold the past A small café, one tired laugh Warm hands wrapped on a paper craft Outside, the world is wide and mute Like it’s listening for a truth I came to quiet what’s loud in me To let the cold rewrite my teeth Every thought slows down, then clears Like a song you finally hear Greenland, aurora static, pull the dark apart Paint that sky right through my chest and heart I don’t want gold, I want clean I want a night that makes me mean less, mean less Greenland, aurora static, stay a little long Turn my fear into a softer song If I disappear for a minute or two It’s just me learning how to breathe with you Harbor chains and a distant boat A radio hum in a heavy coat Someone waves like they’ve seen it all In a town where the winters crawl Tourists chase the perfect shot Locals move like they’ve got what’s not Time, and calm, and a harder skin Still smiling like they’re built to win Ice doesn’t care if you look away It keeps its shape, it keeps its say So I stand here, no big speech Let the silence teach what it teach Greenland, aurora static, pull the dark apart Paint that sky right through my chest and heart I don’t want gold, I want clean I want a night that makes me mean less, mean less Greenland, aurora static, stay a little long Turn my fear into a softer song If I disappear for a minute or two It’s just me learning how to breathe with you The world feels huge And I feel small Not broken small Just human And the lights up there Don’t ask me to be anything They just move Greenland, aurora static, pull the dark apart Paint that sky right through my chest and heart I don’t want gold, I want clean I want a night that makes me mean less, mean less Greenland, aurora static, stay a little long Turn my fear into a softer song If I disappear for a minute or two It’s just me learning how to breathe with you Aurora static In my eyes Greenland, goodnight
