Intro

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

 As the northern plains go by

Instrumental

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
