Have you seen the North
|
That cold grey place
|
Don't want its shadow anymore
|
On my face
|
A man grows bitter
|
We're a bitter race
|
Some of us never get to see
|
A better place
|
|
In the Northern Skies
|
There was a steel cloud
|
It used to follow me around
|
But I don't see it now
|
There's a farm in the rain
|
And a little farmhouse
|
There were a young man's eyes
|
Looking south
|
|
The North was my mother
|
But I no longer need her
|
You trade your roots and your dust
|
For a face in the river
|
|
And a driven rain that washes you
|
To a different shore
|
There's a North in us all
|
But my North can't hold me anymore
|
