That cold grey place
Don't want it's 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
Have you seen the North That cold grey place Don't want it's 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 Explain Request ×
