Fires in the Fjords 2 (version 2)

Verse

Steam rises off the deck where you used to stand

I still see your smile through the rain on the glass hand

You said goodbye in a language I didn't know

The fjords are cold but they never feel as grey as your eyes

The ship's wake is white behind us now, nothing left to say

Pre-Chorus

But maybe this is where it starts

Maybe every shore I leave behind is a part of me that sets free

Chorus

Fires in the fjords, burning brighter still

Every goodbye lights up the dark and makes me whole again till

I'm not just leaving you, I'm finding myself inside the flame

Where every door you closed has become a doorway home

Verse 2

The captain's voice is steady over the engine hum

He says the current carries us back to where we come from

I look out past Norway into the black of the sea

Every wave feels like it's carrying me towards what's meant to be

Pre-Chorus

And maybe this is where it starts

Maybe every shore I leave behind is a part of me that sets free

Chorus

Fires in the fjords, burning brighter still

Every goodbye lights up the dark and makes me whole again till

I'm not just leaving you, I'm finding myself inside the flame

Where every door you closed has become a doorway home

Bridge

No more ash

Just ember, just spark

This is what I needed all along: a fire that leaves nothing behind

Chorus

Fires in the fjords, burning brighter still

Every goodbye lights up the dark and makes me whole again till

I'm not just leaving you, I'm finding myself inside the flame

Where every door you closed has become a doorway home
