[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?
