A beam of light comes shining down on you
A cloud appears above your head
And I ran, I ran so far away
And I ran, I ran so far away
And I ran, I ran so far away
And I ran, I ran so far away
Appearing from my view
Aurora Borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view
Beam of light with you
Hypnotize me through
I just ran, I couldn't get away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
I'm floating in a beam of light with you
Meet a girl like you
Reached out a hand to touch your face
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
You're slowly disappearing from my view
