Alice Peacock - Northern Star lyrics

rate me

You were waiting at the end of the road

so I wouldn't miss the turn

on a moonless light with your flashlight

I was touched by your concern

And later telling stories 'bout the places we had been

you cried in the kitchen when we talked about religion

how you knew me when I was a girl

all mixed up about the world

and I guess it's fair to say

we're so alike in many ways

you're my northern star

that's what you are

When you were sick I brought you flowers

the by the highway sort

and we'd make love for hours and hours

on the couch in your front porch

and I'm sorry I kissed your brother

but I thought I saw your face

and you were gone the next summer you went so far away

and I guess you thought we were dangerous

you had to keep your distance

Ah but I, I would have styled the world for you

if you had insisted

'cause your my northern star

that's what you are

It's hard to see the stars at night

in the city where i live

even though my roof

the busy lights

make the summer skies seem dim

but I'm driving north tomorrow

cross the border about ten

I'll be looking for your light to guide me in

And I'll dream I'm in your arms

underneath the starry splendor

and you will never be that far

I'll always will remember

you're my northern star

that's what you are
