Elvis Costello - North |
|
The East has that Englishmen |
|
And the rising sun |
|
The West has the open plains |
|
And how they were won |
|
On Independence Day |
|
For all it's worth |
|
You can ring those southern belles |
|
I'm heading... North |
|
Up were the rushing rivers run and salmon leap |
|
I could even get there in my sleep |
|
Give me the ice and snow |
|
Let me go... North |
|
So run up a banner and we'll stand underneath |
|
You gave me a starry flag |
|
For one with a leaf |
|
I'm on the borderline |
|
I jump back and forth |
|
There's nothing to stop me now |
|
I'm heading... North |
|
Up where the polar bears and moose and geese will play |
|
And some of them address you en francais |
|
Give me the ice and snow |
|
Let me go... North |
|
And so I must leave you all |
|
Alas and alack |
|
And though we are parting now |
|
I'll always come back |
|
So as the compass points |
|
That's where I'll be |
|
But if you could only see |
|
The perfection of...North |
|
It's somewhere I will always carry in my heart |
|
A place when dreams begin and life can start |
|
Who cares what people know? |
|
Let me go... |
|
North |
