Lyrics: North
Album: Up
Artist: Abc
 

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
