lyrics

One by one
we break off
in our own time
the blue fizzes
fresh into salt
come on in
the water's fine
we drift out
orphaned brothers
hoping to hold
on to who we are
long enough
to reach warmer waters

Drifting, riding
lazy on the tide
hoping to find a current
where we can abide
dreaming of summer
dreaming of summer

Some of us
melt away beneath the waves
before anyone knew
we were here
some of us drift
past South Pacific islands
before we disappear
some of us are home
to life
for a century
and don't
feel the years slip

And some of us sink ships

Drifting, riding
lazy on the tide
hoping to find a current
where we can abide
dreaming of summer
dreaming of summer

We may seem like we're towering white
gliding on the glass reflecting light
but there's so much more of us below the waterline
so much of us out of sight

No matter how far away
how far we want
how far we might
No matter where in the blue
we drift
we all miss
the Northern Lights
we miss our home
and the Northern Lights

Drifting, riding
lazy on the tide
hoping to find a current
where we can abide
dreaming of summer
dreaming of summer
