The North

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Available on the album the one



Have you seen the north

That cold grey place

Don't want its shadow anymore

On my face

A man grows bitter

We're a bitter race

Some of us never get to see

A better place



In the northern skies

There was a steel cloud

It used to follow me around

But i don't see it now

There's a farm in the rain

And a little farmhouse

There were a young man's eyes

Looking south





The north was my mother

But i no longer need her

You trade your roots and your dust

For a face in the river





And a driven rain that washes you

To a different shore

There's a north in us all

But my north can't hold me anymore
