Northern Sunrise

Stinking of woodsmoke, rum and wildflowers Was it the sun or the moonshine it drove us to dance there for hours Reeling from nettles and ale that you stole from the bar Your voice made me enter, your skin made me stay We move like the water, two currents merged, meeting halfway Lost my defences somewhere in the back of a car We don't fall in love, we rise Like the dawn burns slow Oh I know this takes time But I'll stay here tonight And lie with you under a soft northern sunrise I know we're both drifters, not ones to stay still I'm scared of freewheeling but I'm so sick of struggling uphill Give me an orbit that holds me whilst letting me spin The distance is bitter but the fruit tastes so sweet The doubts worm away but my heart has admitted defeat I've come such a long way to be here so please let me in We don't fall in love, we rise Like the dawn burns slow Oh I know this takes time But I'll stay here tonight And go to the water and lie with the doors open wide As I share all my secrets oh god knows I tried To resist you from the moment I kissed you One night near the sea Never dreamt you'd be drowning with me I can hear you're still sleeping, see the dawn through closed eyes As I lie with you under a soft northern sunrise There's no need to worry we're taking this slow
