[Intro]
, (x4)
[Verse 1]
A stupid me, I took a morning picture
()
To send to you ten thousand miles away
()
The yolky sun rising on the snowfield
And I swore I wouldn t think of you today
[Verse 2]
The frozen line takes me across the border
A hundred years of horses lead the way
Why do stubborn leaves turn forever colder?
There s nothing left to cling to anyway
[Chorus]
I know you ll break my heart again
Somewhere on the northern plains
Tired lovers left alone to lie
Far beyond the golden grave
An emptiness I can t explain
Our hearts are always broken in the sky
(N.C.)
As the northern plains go by
[Instrumental]
, (x2)
[Verse 3]
Holding on to ghosts gets you nowhere
You ll burn, forgetting quietly each day
I ve never seen so far without an ocean
And I ve never longed for something more to say
[Chorus]
I know you ll break my heart again
Somewhere on the northern plains
Tired lovers left alone to lie
Far beyond the golden grave
An emptiness I can t explain
Our hearts are always broken in the sky
As the northern plains go by
[Bridge]
()
I don t know where the moments go
Or if love can be replaced
And I don t know why the morning snow
Reminds me of your face
[Chorus]
But I know you ll break my heart again
Somewhere on the northern plains
Tired lovers left alone to lie
Far beyond the golden grave
An emptiness I can t explain
Our hearts are always broken in the sky
As the northern plains go by
As the northern plains go by
As the northern plains go by
[End on D]
