Full Song Lyrics:
Verse 1: [G]Cracking ice under [Em]my feet,
[D]Walking on the frozen [C]street.
[G]Northern lights in [Em]the sky,
[D]Beneath them, [C]you and I.

[D]Watching stories of the [C]north unfold.

[G]Echoed laughter, [Em]crisp and clear,
[D]Only the northern winds to [C]hear.

[D]Watching stories of the [C]north unfold.
