Emerald Aurora - Synth Music

Sea-salt on my sleeve
Bus lights fade behind the dunes
You said you might believe
In leaving soon
In changing moons
Cold wind through the gorse
Your laugh cutting through the grey
Old stories
New course
You tracing runes in your takeaway

Under this emerald aurora
Where the north sky bends for us
You say stay ’til the morning
I say home’s in this little rush
Gael tongue
Midnight horizon
Your hand warm inside my coat
Emerald aurora above us
Two coastlines in one small boat

You hum an old refrain
About a child who never drowned
I watch the window rain
Turn street signs into sacred ground
Pine smoke on your scarf
Phone light on your freckled chin
You say your home is far
But somehow I feel folded in

Under this emerald aurora
Where the north sky bends for us
You say stay ’til the morning
I say home’s in this little rush
Gael tongue
Midnight horizon
Your hand warm inside my coat
Emerald aurora above us
Two coastlines in one small boat

If the ferry never comes
If the road just curls to sky
We could live on borrowed suns
Trading tales of how and why
Every myth we ever learned
Softly burning
Slow and bright
Green and silver
Twist and turn
You and me beneath that light

Under this emerald aurora
Where the north sky bends for us
You say stay ’til the morning
I say home’s in this little rush
Gael tongue
Midnight horizon
Your hand warm inside my coat
Emerald aurora above us
Two coastlines in one small boat
