Northern Skyline Lyrics - Clannad

Sit awhile staring at the ocean 

Riding high the boats flying motion 

Just a smile, tears and emotion 

Storm rise on the northern skyline 

Shadows are haunting me 

Drifting down to the sea 

Remember when we used to sing the old songs 

Of friends that part to sail to a new land 

Without a smile, so long a journey 

Storm rise on the northern skyline 

Shadows are haunting me 

Drifting down to the sea 

Rest awhile staring at the mountain 

Reaching high, the valley's far below us 

See for miles the still and clear horizon 

Storm rise on the northern skyline 

Shadows are haunting me 

Drifting down to the sea
