North Wind

Some time ago
I made for the North land
Drawn by the wild
To hazel eyes

I thought I’d be tall
When I made my stand
But there was a child
‘Neath those northern skies

But this night is clear
And so full of wonder
Lord I am tired
Of walking alone

All of my dreams
They’re going under
I carried my pride
Like a weathered old stone

I’ve had my fill
Of chasing my shadow
I wore him wound
And he wore me down

I miss the hills
And soft, rolling, meadows
I stayed a spell
But I’m leaving this town

So come on boots
I know that you’re weary
I know how you long
To stay by her bed

But it’s many a mile
Foot loose and dreary
Back from the bush
To the woods you once tread

But, I’ve had my fill
Ff chasing my shadow
I wore him wound
And he wore me down

I miss the hills
And soft, rolling, meadows
I stayed a spell
But I’m leaving this town

Come on North Wind blow
Blow this dreamer away
And let no one ever know
How much I long to stay

Stand by the door
I pray that I’m ready
I’ve said it before
I mean it this time

My heart undone
My hand unsteady
Life left behind now
Where northern lights shine

I’ve had my fill
Of chasing my shadow
I wore him wound
And he wore me down

I miss the hills
And soft, rolling, meadows.
I stayed a spell
But I’m leaving this town.

Say what you will
I’m leaving this town
