North

Sun beats hard



On sunset boulevard



Much harder still



In notting hill



A northwind blows



And carries me home



Carries my heart, carries my soul







When cool silks they turn to suede



When young dreams are torn and frayed



The south feels so cold and grey



Today! today the north's too many miles away



Today! today i got to get away







I'm driving north



I'm heading home



I'm driving back



To the place i once belonged







It's all gone silent



The light begins to fade



One man unplugs



The penny arcade



A northwind blows



And carries me home



Carries my heart, carries my soul







When cool silks they turn to suede



When young dreams are torn and frayed



The south feels so cold and grey



Today! today the north's too many miles away



Today! today i got to get away







I'm driving north



I'm heading home



I'm driving back



To the place i once belonged







One sweet bouquet



The flowers strewn



The petals scattered



Here in the north



No dreams are shattered







I'm driving north



I'm heading home



I'm driving back



To the place i once belonged







No we don't feel angry



No we don't feel betrayed



Unlike our fathers



We don't remember better days







No we don't feel angry



No we don't feel betrayed



We just live



In this day and age
