"Northern Lights" Bowerbirds

I know, I know...I just posted about these guys. But I just really love this song and its longing lyrics.

The lyrics:
I don’t need from you a waterfall of careless praise
And I don’t need a trophy for all the games I played
But all I want is your eyes
In the morning as we wake for a short while

And I don’t need you to catch my wandering mind
And I don’t expect a southern girl to know the northern lights
And all I want is your eyes
In the morning as we wake for a short while

And I do need the wind across my pale face
And I do need the ferns to unfurl in the spring
And I do need the grass to sway,
yes I do need to know my place

yet all I want is your eyes
in the morning as we wake for a short while


Because I do need the wind across my pale face. And I do need to know my place.
