North

Virtue专辑

  • 作曲 : Euan Hinshelwood/Emma-Lee Moss/Gareth Griffith-Jones
    There's a place I'm gonna leave to
    When all this questioning is through
    I'm gonna set my course to somewhere further North
    Than my eyes have ever viewed
    And though I know that the thought proceeds me
    I know that others seek it too
    But when I get where the needle leads me
    Well I swear, and I swear,
    you'll never lead me away again
    And in the time when the peace of islands
    Was first by human hand disturbed
    They built their houses and they said obedience
    Was all the lives of men were worth
    And in the shadow of the temperance
    They laid boundaries in the dirt
    And when the door had a narrow entrance
    With their hands on their shirts
    they would pray for the non-believers

    And there's a place called North
    And they're gathering there to sing
    And I knock three times and beg them
    But they will not let me in
    And "Oh, my girl" they say
    "You're the carrier to no gain"
    But I lay, what I can, somewhere North of this and
    Would you turn me away again?

    And do you go where the needle leads to
    And when you get there will you change?
    Out where the nights are soft
    And now you go because you think
    that Paradise should be tamed
    And how you live is by a map of humanity
    And now you grip it 'cause you think that it saves
    But I've seen what you see
    It looks different to me
    I see lights to the shore
    And all these hearts beating other rhythms
    Now they die to be born
    And all their mysteries are dying with them
    And there's a place called North
    And you're gathering there to sing
    And I knock three times and beg you
    But you will not let me in
    But though I love so hard
    Now I'm the carrier to this gate
    And I lay, what I can,
    somewhere North of us and
    Would you turn me away again?

    And would these winds would lift
    And they carry me to your door
    And I knock three times and tell you
    I can't help where I was born
    But don't I love enough
    Isn't holiness where it forms?
    If I take, what I have, to the North
    Is there room on your piece of Heaven?

    Oh would you turn me away again?
