Elton John - The North lyrics

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album the one<br><br>Have you seen the north<br>That cold grey place<br>Don't want it's shadow anymore<br>On my face<br>A man grows bitter<br>We're a bitter race<br>Some of us never get to see<br>A better place<br><br>In the northern skies<br>There was a steel cloud<br>It used to follow me around<br>But I don't see it now<br>There's a farm in the rain<br>And a little farmhouse<br>There were a young man's eyes<br>Looking south<br><br>The north was my mother<br>But I no longer need her<br>You trade your roots and your dust<br>For a face in the river<br><br>And a driven rain that washes you<br>To a different shore<br>There's a north in us all<br>But my north can't hold me anymore
