about

Ancestors visit in dance when the northern lights are swift and bright.

lyrics

Shimmering light sweeping down, 
Lift my eyes to watch the milky heavens dance around
Across a freckled canvas where stars and green-eyed moon
Try as they might, can’t hold a lamp to you
Try as they might tonight, can’t hold a lamp to you

Your veil of cafe curtains light the snow
Your neon hem becomes four rivers, winding as they go
Green as a mountain meadow, white as a summer bloom
I stand below your grand display, on a night time afternoon
Stand before your grand display, on a midnight afternoon

Wawatay eh nimihitocik
Cipayuk eh nimihitocik
Wawatay eh nimihitocik
Ispimihk

It’s said that you’re an Earth-gone living soul
Come on down to dance a fancy dance and say hello
Wild as a rearing stallion, soft as a flowing mane
Watch you dance over the sky, move away then back again
Watch you fading out of sight, heading back to where you came

Wawatay eh nimihitocik
Chipayuk eh nimihitocik
Wawatay eh nimihitocik
Ispimihk
