lyrics

I'm going north
Going where the sun is always bright
Going where I always feel alright
I always feel alright
Tuck me safely in my bed tonight
Throw me where my heart is always light
Throw me where I get to sleep all night
I dream away the night
Tuck me safely in my bed
I wish I could remember everything you've ever said to me
Oh, the pleasure of another hour or two to be with you
I'm going north
Going where the sun is always bright
Going where I always feel alright
I always feel alright
Tuck me safely in my bed
I dreamt that just the same, the morning raged
But nonetheless somehow they found you
You came home where you could finally take your rest
But nonetheless
Where would you rather be?
Let your thoughts collapse upon you
And the echo set you free
Oh my, the sky, the sky is awfully gorgeous
Fly away with me
It's beautiful
Fly away with me
You've got to see it
Where would you rather be?
Let your thoughts collapse upon you
Let your thoughts collapse upon you
What keeps us far apart will surely someday bring us back together
On a day that I'm not meant to comprehend
Once again
I'll see you then
Going north
Going where the sun is always bright
Going where I always feel alright
I always feel alright
Tuck me safely in my bed tonight
Where would you rather be?
Let your thoughts collapse upon you
And the echo set you free
Oh my, the sky, the sky is awfully gorgeous
Fly away with me
It's beautiful
Fly away with me
You've got to see it
Where would you rather be?
Let your thoughts collapse upon you
Let your thoughts collapse
Let your thoughts collapse upon you
