Northern Wind

lyrics

Northern Wind

She lived where the sea is wild
and the wind cuts through your clothes
she told me to wait at the end of her street
cause her daddy didn’t know

Her jeans were as frayed as my hair
They brought the puddles up to her knees
But that smile was enough for me

From the north
It blows strong
Across the estuary
But love keeps me
holding on

By the waves she held my hand
We let them crash right over our feet
The salt in the air made her hair wrap itself
round my fingers in the breeze

But soon the tide rolled on out
And love left us behind
Life forced us to say goodbye

From the north
It blows strong
Across the estuary
But love keeps me
holding on

Burns your face as it passes through
Like the tears that you cried for her
Blows those memories right back to you

The ships are all turning for home
Bringing with them fish for the fryers
Guided by the lights on the shore
and the stars in the sky

Waves meet their fate one by one
they wash away the words in the sand
We may always find new love
but it wont be the same

From the north
It blows strong
Across the estuary
But love keeps me
holding on
