The Northern Cross

Could you be sure
Could you tell me the truth
Could you remember
All the things we could lose

Could you still talk
Of the crowns we tried
To wear and to bear
When we were young and proud

Could you still dodge
Through the crowd and the fog
Following the glimmer
Of the lighthouse and walk

Couldn't we meet again
Could we still see each other

Here you lie down
Here you were born

As deep as you could feel
The pain of the others
Now I can feel the weight
Of those years on your shoulders

Tell me you're back again
Knocking at my door
And I'll be your shelter
In the storm

Here you lie down
Here you were born

Here you lie down
Here you were born
