You were like the northern lights
Never seen them but I hear they're bright
I would build you a castle dear
Even if it took ten thousand years
Whisk me away sweet memories of old
Bring me closer to her than what I've known
Capital L on a word of hope
Without love we're all just blowing smoke
Just blowing smoke
Half a century is a long time
Spent my heart on treasures I'd find
Should've gave you more I confess
Please forgive me till our souls are at rest
Whisk me away sweet memories of old
Bring me closer to her than what I've known
Capital L on a word of hope
Without love we're all just blowing smoke
Just blowing smoke
Down in the grave you can hear my song
My hand can reach you though the ground hasn't thawed
Now our bodies are covered by wood
Let's run away the Lord said that we could
Take me away my stories been told
The two of us and are spirits have finally flown
Freed my selfishness still thought I'd choke
Without love we're all just blowing smoke
Just blowing smoke
