Whispers of the north

To that wild and barren land

Where nature takes its course

Whispers of the wind
       ~       Am
Soon I will be there again

Bound with a wild and restless drive
              G        C
That pulls me from within

Whispers of my love
C        ~        Am
Days and weeks on end

In prayers that I will send

The river and the shore

In a land that tested Eskimos
             G/B     C
Ten thousand years before
         ~     Am
Whispers of my heart
       G/B       C
In the tracks of animals

I will leave my footprints there
         G         C
To lie beneath the snow

I will see it rise and fall
C      ~       Am
I will hear it sing
    C        ~      Am
The sound is like a song to me
   C      ~       Am
It takes away the pain
    C     ~      Am
The river is the melody
           G     C
And sky is the refrain
