Dm G C G
and if I were carrying one last light
Dm G C C
and if I were tired of cold
Dm G C G
I would go bravely into the northern night
Dm G C C
and if I fall, cry when it snows
Dm G C G
and if I fall, carry my children there
Dm G C
in shadows of light lessen the cold
F C
but how would you know
Em C
and if I fall then
F C C
how would you know
Dm G C G
in my own words, this is a holy trail
Dm G C C
delight to walk, pleasure to know
Dm G C G
there is a heart, there in the northern night
Dm G C
close by the dark, warm by the cold
Dm G C G
there is a way over the last sun's light
Dm G C C
there is a way before you go
Dm G C G
under the heart, into the northern lights
Dm G C C
after the dark, before the cold
Dm G C G
'what do you know, you are a tired man,
Dm G C
look at yourself, you are so old'
F C
ah, but how would you know
Em C
if I am old then
F C C
how would you know
Dm G C G
and if I were falling in one last light
Dm G C C
and if I were tired of cold
Dm G C G
I would go there, into the northern night
Dm G C C...
close to my heart, close to my soul
