|
oh love of the north with a dream in his hand |
|
my love has come home to this beautiful land |
|
and he comes through the door with his eyes like the sun |
|
and his kit-bag all full of the treasures he's won |
|
a bottle, a broom, an old foreign tale |
|
the shell of a clam, and the jaws of a whale |
|
my kitchen is full of the smell of the sea |
|
and all the fine things that my love brings to me |
|
come gather your treasures, a garden in bloom |
|
and bring them along to our sweet little room |
|
with the sun in the morning ablaze on your chest |
|
my love has come home from the north or northwest |
|
oh love of the north with a dream in his hand |
|
my love has come home to this beautiful land |
|
and he comes through the door with his eyes like the sun |
|
and his kit-bag all full of the treasures he's won |
