lyrics

Pym by Northern Allies

I hold your trembling sparks
In the dark you drift away
Under toe and foam
You find a kinder moon
An anchor holding firm
You say it’s okay if I go
‘Cause knowing me is too much,
Knowing you

Side by side and silent before the storm
A sky of stars
But our bodies know it’s coming.

Swimming back to shore
I still hear the double ring
Of your heart, at the start of spring
I’ll see you around town
subway platform the open sea
Watch you on the phone
Wonder what it could have been

Side by side and silent before the storm
It just the start of a long ending
Of migration
Still you believe…

Side by side and silent before the storm
And though I know,
The morning drags me home
On a drive of twenty years
Of searching for a way back to your room
Still you believe
In true north….
