Lyrics:

Desination outward bound

I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing

Horizons seem to beckon me

Learned how to cry too young

So now I live to sing

The northern lights are in my mind

They guide me back to you

Horizons seem to beckon me

Learned how to cry too young

So now I live to sing

Though it's hard away from you

Travelling roads and just passing through

It's not for money and it's not for fame

I just can't explain, sometimes it's lonely

Marking the space between the days

Early hours pass away

I sing to you of northern lights

I sing for you of northern nights

Past or future, here or there

Shelter comes in words from you, so talk to me

I hear your voice, it comforts me

In morning dreams I take your hand

You walk with me

The northern lights are in my mind

They guide me back to you

Peace enfolds the still night air

Home again I look for you and find you there

Desintation homeward now

Take the easy way, bring me down

Making the hard way now I see

Hard to be really free, I'm missing you near me

Marking the space between the days

Early hours pass away

I sing to you of northern lights

I sing for you of northern nights

The northern lights are in my mind

They guide me back to you

The northern nights are in my eyes

They guide me back to you

One of the truly best of the second incarnation of Renaissance with Annie Haslam. While many of their tunes were wonderful -- something about this one is special. Almost as if, Annie was funneling the spirit of the original vocalist Jane Relf. Remarkable work by a band that included the talented and late John Tout, and Michael Dunford. You both did such good work.

Annie is hands-down the best female vocalist I've ever heard. Her voice is that of an angel...brilliant perfection with a vocal range from another solar system. Jon Camp is probably the most underrated bassist on the planet.

unfortunately so underrated band, the lead singer Annie Haslan is surely one of the best of all times.....

Fond memories of this band. In the States they got some FM airplay around the tail end of folk-rock and prog rock, but then it seems that they got sideswiped by punk and new wave. I saw them on a reunion tour in the late 1980's, in a 1000-seat theater with about 100 people in it. In spite of the small turnout, they put on a fine show. It happened to be Annie's birthday, and the whole audience sang "Happy Birthday" to her.
