 Have you seen the North?

 That cold, grey place.

 In the Northern Skies
E minorEm         G+G
 There was a steel cloud

 It used to follow me around,
      E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
But I don’t see it now.
G+G            B minorBm
 There's a farm in the rain,
E minorEm   G+G        C majorC
 And a little farmhouse.

The North was my mother.
D MajorD             FF
 But I no longer need her.
Bb majorBb               A7A7
 You trade your roots and your dust.
D MajorD
 For a face in the river.
FF                Bb majorBb
 And a driven rain that washes you
FF        D MajorD
 To a different shore.

There's a North in us all but my North can't hold me anymore.
