Destination 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.

Though it's hard away from you, travelling roads and 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.

so talk to me.

Making the hard way now, I see.

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

Note also the rhythm of the intro/verse is different from the chorus, despite the

A |2---2---|99999---|7---7---|99999---|

E |0---0---|00000---|0---0---|00000---|

Whereas the chorus rhythm is more like:

E B A B

e |0-0-0---|2-2-2-2-|0-0-0---|2-2-2-2-|

B |0-0-0---|4-4-4-4-|2-2-2---|4-4-4-4-|

E |0-0-0---|x-x-x-x-|x-x-x---|x-x-x-x-|

although that's a simplification!
