    Story Behind the Song
    In 1981 I saw the northen lights in Olympia Washington - I was 20, in love and looking for guidance from the cosmos. Ha! The lesson: be your own guide. No one else is gonna do it for ya!

    Lyrics
    Secret of the Crossroads Devil

    I have seen the Northern Lights
    Looked out the window at just the right time
    I'd been waiting for a sign
    Then green and golden, they filled the night sky

    Now this vision it was mine
    But which direction - So much to ponder
    I would take a little time
    I've waited this long - why not longer

    And the nights are getting colder
    Does this touch of grey mean
    I'm really getting this much older?
    Coyote's getting bolder, laughing right outside the door

    But if you wanna see the Northern Lights
    You gotta lift up your head and
    If you wanna have some kind of life
    Decide you're not better off dead and
    If you wanna read the secret message written in your future
    You better start to write it now...

    Who can tell the truth from lies?
    What's a life without examination?
    Afraid to scan the midight skies
    I'd keep my head down, wait for confirmation

    And the nights have gotten colder
    And yeah that shock of grey means
    I've really gotten that much older
    Coyote's gotten bolder, stealing stuff right out the door

    But if you wanna see the Northern Lights
    You gotta lift up your head and
    If you wanna have some kind of life
    Decide you're not better off dead and
    If you wanna read the secret message written in your future
    You better start to write it now...

    I met the devil in a field
    I said "Oh finally, did you bring my contract?"
    And the secret he revealed
    Was that he waits for no one, and he's never made a single deal

    Meanwhile the nights have gotten cold
    And yeah that shock of grey means man you've really gotten old
    Coyote's got so bold you know he's sleeping on your floor

    But if you wanna see the Northern Lights
    You gotta lift up your head and
    If you wanna have some kind of life
    Decide you're not better off dead and
    If you wanna read the secret message written in your future
    (If you wanna see the mystic future written in your story)
    You better start to write it now...
