Verse 1)The wind is howling through the pine trees coldThe darkest stories that the winter’s toldI lost the trail where the shadows bendAnd found myself at a bitter endWith heavy boots and a frozen heartWatching the familiar world fall apart(Pre-Chorus)But the clouds are parting, the fog lets goRevealing a map that the ancient sailors knowHigh above the shifting, restless deepA lonely watchman who never sleeps(Chorus)Shine on, my Northern StarI don’t care how cold or how farWhen the compass breaks and the map is tornAnd I’m tossed around in the midnight stormYou hold the sky, you never moveThe only truth I have left to proveGuide me home, wherever you areMy constant, blinding Northern Star(Verse 2)The other lights will dance and fade awayThe shooting stars only mimic the dayThey burn so bright just to disappearLeaving a deeper, darker fearBut you stand quiet in your crown of iceA timeless, steady, fixed advice(Pre-Chorus)And the clouds are parting, the fog lets goRevealing a map that the ancient sailors knowHigh above the shifting, restless deepA lonely watchman who never sleeps(Chorus)Shine on, my Northern StarI don’t care how cold or how farWhen the compass breaks and the map is tornAnd I’m tossed around in the midnight stormYou hold the sky, you never moveThe only truth I have left to proveGuide me home, wherever you areMy constant, blinding Northern Star(Bridge)When the world spins out of my controlAnd the frost is biting at my soulI look up, I square my frameI don't even need to know your nameJust keep your silver light pinned to the darkAnd I will follow that burning spark(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break)(Chorus)Shine on, my Northern StarI don’t care how cold or how farWhen the compass breaks and the map is tornAnd I’m tossed around in the midnight stormYou hold the sky, you never moveThe only truth I have left to proveGuide me home, wherever you areMy constant, blinding Northern Star(Outro)Blinding Northern Star...Still standing still while the galaxies spin...Leading me back to where I begin...Just keep shining.Just guide me home.
