David Coverdale - Northwinds lyrics

I'm taking it easy, taking it slow,

Riding home, to lay my body down.

Thought about it long enough,

To let it slip away,

But, I feel like a stranger there

These days,

The northwind blew me across the water,

Took me far away from home,

It seems it ain't enough

To get down on your knees and pray,

I've been waiting for the sun to shine

But, the rain took my spirit away

I'll take the sun before the rain, any day,

Call on the northwinds, if any cloud gets in my way

Nothing ever changes,

The song remains the same.

I feel I've got a one way ticket,

And I'm sitting, sitting on an empty train

Been such a long time

On the black ribbon road,

Taking it easy, living from day to day.

Sometimes it ain't so good

When you're flying so high,

Riding on a northwind,

You never get the feeling to try

I'll take the sun before the rain, any day,

Call on the northwinds, if any cloud gets in my way

Nothing ever changes,

The song remains the same.

I feel I've got a one way ticket,

And I'm sitting, sitting on an empty train

Northwinds make it all so easy,

Make me live my life too slow.

It seems it ain't enough

To get down on your knees and pray,

I've been waiting for the sun to shine,

But, the rain took my spirit away

I'll take the sun before the rain, anyday,

Call on the northwinds, if any cloud gets in my way

Nothing ever changes,

The song remains the same.

I feel I've got a one way ticket,

And I'm sitting, sitting on an empty train

So tell me how long has the train been gone?

How long has the train been gone

I've been waiting so long,

I even missed an empty train
