| [00:17.04] |
There's a place I'm gonna leave to |
| [00:19.85] |
When all this questioning is through |
| [00:23.60] |
I'm gonna set my course to somewhere further North |
| [00:27.41] |
Than my eyes have ever viewed |
| [00:30.66] |
And though I know that the thought proceeds me |
| [00:34.04] |
I know that others seek it too |
| [00:37.60] |
But when I get where the needle leads me |
| [00:41.29] |
Well I swear, and I swear, |
| [00:43.35] |
you'll never lead me away again |
| [00:51.91] |
And in the time when the peace of islands |
| [00:55.04] |
Was first by human hand disturbed |
| [00:58.85] |
They built their houses and they said obedience |
| [01:02.54] |
Was all the lives of men were worth |
| [01:05.85] |
And in the shadow of the temperance |
| [01:08.60] |
They laid boundaries in the dirt |
| [01:13.04] |
And when the door had a narrow entrance |
| [01:15.85] |
With their hands on their shirts |
| [01:18.48] |
they would pray for the non-believers |
| [01:22.73] |
|
| [01:24.91] |
And there's a place called North |
| [01:27.29] |
And they're gathering there to sing |
| [01:30.85] |
And I knock three times and beg them |
| [01:33.98] |
But they will not let me in |
| [01:38.29] |
And "Oh, my girl" they say |
| [01:41.41] |
"You're the carrier to no gain" |
| [01:44.79] |
But I lay, what I can, somewhere North of this and |
| [01:50.44] |
Would you turn me away again? |
| [01:51.57] |
|
| [01:59.32] |
And do you go where the needle leads to |
| [02:01.39] |
And when you get there will you change? |
| [02:05.95] |
Out where the nights are soft |
| [02:07.95] |
And now you go because you think |
| [02:09.70] |
that Paradise should be tamed |
| [02:12.76] |
And how you live is by a map of humanity |
| [02:16.51] |
And now you grip it 'cause you think that it saves |
| [02:19.88] |
But I've seen what you see |
| [02:21.89] |
It looks different to me |
| [02:23.64] |
I see lights to the shore |
| [02:25.51] |
And all these hearts beating other rhythms |
| [02:30.76] |
Now they die to be born |
| [02:36.07] |
And all their mysteries are dying with them |
| [02:42.45] |
And there's a place called North |
| [02:44.89] |
And you're gathering there to sing |
| [02:48.32] |
And I knock three times and beg you |
| [02:51.39] |
But you will not let me in |
| [02:56.32] |
But though I love so hard |
| [02:58.95] |
Now I'm the carrier to this gate |
| [03:02.40] |
And I lay, what I can, |
| [03:05.90] |
somewhere North of us and |
| [03:08.05] |
Would you turn me away again? |
| [03:10.40] |
|
| [03:24.77] |
And would these winds would lift |
| [03:27.22] |
And they carry me to your door |
| [03:30.79] |
And I knock three times and tell you |
| [03:33.85] |
I can't help where I was born |
| [03:38.60] |
But don't I love enough |
| [03:41.35] |
Isn't holiness where it forms? |
| [03:44.79] |
If I take, what I have, to the North |
| [03:50.04] |
Is there room on your piece of Heaven? |
| [04:09.85] |
|
| [04:18.54] |
Oh would you turn me away again? |
