Going to the North

[Verse 1]
The wind whistles through this old frozen railway car
I lost track some hours ago though I know we’ve come so far
We’re only going to the north to see our parents there
They’ll always find a bed for us though there is no space to spare

[Verse 2]
I can always find my own way home in the night time, in the day
The cold wind concentrates the mind and blows the blues away
There’s a star up in the north that can help you to get home
It’s been at work since the very first day from Kirkwall down to Rome

[Bridge]
You can view things more clearly when you see them from afar
The little things they get clearer the nearer that you are

[Verse 3]
A prisoner's road across the sea where now water drowns in sand
The same thing always calls me here that causes birds to land
There’s a magnet in the north, you’re never really gone
The lodestone it can't help but spin and it knows where you belong
