The Northern Wind

I was born a wanderer way up in the North
Never seen my father cos he left before my birth
Since I was a little child, the two my greatest friends
Were the road before me
and the restless Northern Wind

So one day I came to my mother and I said
Mother dear I’m leaving you, I have to go ahead
Cos I just can’t live without a path before my feet
Please don’t cry and worry,
and believe the Northern Wind!

Chorus: I have got to go now, though I’d prefer to stay
     The Northern wind is blowing and calling me away
     There are new roads waiting, waiting there for me
     Maybe I’ll come back to you -
     with the Northern Wind

So I hit the road and from that time I’ve known no rest
I’ve been to the South and to the East and to the West
I have heard the songs and legends of the distant lands
And I never roam without
my friend the Northern Wind

There’s no other way of life that I would like to choose
Cos there’s nothing I can win and nothing I can lose
Sleeping under open sky or in a cosy inn
I believe I’ll stay forever
with the Northern Wind

Chorus.
