A NORTHERN SUN

Lead vocal: Jack

Down under a northern sun
She felt her safe passage lay in providential sight
A thought not contradicted by a southern sun’s pale light
Free from doubt, she held sway, the queen of her domain
And when the sky began to gray, she had no fear of rain

Down under a northern sun

The deluge, when it finally came, gave her quite a shock
Her second sight had always seemed as solid as rock
The southern sun was blotted out, its warmth replaced by cold
But in her mind’s eye skies were clear, as in those tales of old
Danielle is in denial, at war with reality
Her dreams were all she thought she was
And all that she would be

Down under a northern sun

Accumulating unease finally led her to seek the sun
A southern course was plotted and the journey was begun
And, in time, the raindrops ceased, the sky again was blue
A northern sun shone bright and warm upon the lucky few
Danielle was in denial, but now she is at peace
A trip to the land of the northern sun
Has earned her sweet release
Long shackled by her dreams she’s finally found a home

Down under a northern sun
