North by north— lest we have to settle
down
we can sail without the wind
in this town
Things that London never saw
Northern winters start
to thaw;
To islands on the sea,
lands I’ve never seen,
things will get calmer—follow me.
You said a long long
time ago
you were happy being someone
Let's go far far far from home
I'll be glad to
be with someone
Land pneumonia, your engines in repair;
plant
begonias, and orchids in your hair.
Continents all made of clay
Dreamers leaving every day
To islands on
the sea,
lands I’ve never seen,
things will get calmer—follow me.
Someone told me you had oceans in your eyes
Cold
as shadows over European skies
Coasting out the shallow day
Leaving
London in decay
To islands on the sea,
lands I’ve never
seen,
things will get calmer—follow me.
