For those who are 'away'

lyrics

THE GIRL WHO WENT NORTH

Every winter time, she heads north
To get snowed
Curls up in her bed, beneath the covers
And let's go

And she'll sleep, through the morning
She'll sleep, right past lunch
She'll sleep, til she's done mourning
Her life and all the ways it's done her wrong
The girl who went north

All that winter snow, is warm and comforting
Despite the sting
And the phone lines cannot reach her, this far north
This time of year

But we'll wait, through the morning
We'll wait, right past lunch
We'll wait, til all of us are mourning
Our girl who went up north with the snow
The girl who went north

Is there a spring? Is there a spring?
Hillsides awash with melting snow?
A songbird on her window, that makes her wake
And come on home?

But we'll wait, through November
We'll wait, right through Christmas time
We'll wait, see if the new year brings us patience
To welcome home our girl who went up north
The girl who went north
