Northern Town

All my friends are gone and the sun is down

Cold and lonely in a northern town

Could keep going, but I’m too tired to see

So these barroom walls build a home for me

‘Cause here to my home is like here to the stars

In a Northern town, in a lonely bar

Why do I keep leaving, why do I stray?

Time running shorter, I can feel it day by day

When I try and call you, I know just what you’ll say

You’ll say my love, your love is with me

Under this same moon, along the same stream

Soon the work is done, you’ll be back around

Out of that lonely bar in that northern town

When I started up, it was an easy choice

Want to see the world, want to raise my voice

But then I fell in love and felt the pull of time

Now I see her face in every highway sign

I’ve put in too much to pull out now

One day she’ll come with me to all these northern towns

Why do I keep leaving, why do I stray?

Time running shorter, I can feel it day by day

When I try and call you, I know just what you’ll say

You’ll say my love, your love is with me

Under this same moon, along the same stream

My love, your love is with me

On a mountain high, in the darkest sea

Soon I’ll see the sun, you’ll be back around

You’ll come with me to all these northern towns

You’ll come with me to all these northern towns
