Northland
....I'm the impatient guy… with the anxious look in my eyes
Toting a green pack and black case… awkwardly to my place.
And that's what you see ….when first you lay eyes on me.
You're the girl in aisle one (feeling excited but alone)
Blond highlights brought out by the sun (first time traveling on your own)
Hiding your jade crystal eyes (tell me what are you running from?)
Behind a fashionable disguise (like everyone...)
So little I knew when first I laid eyes on you.
Am I really here? Been talking 'bout it for a year but never thought the time would come.
Today a new religion -- never second-guess decisions, present to everything ....and every...one.
Come and take a walk with me
down where we can hear the sea
rolling over the sand.
We'll find constellations in the night
while I wrap my arms round you tight
and create a memory of northland.
There's a risk I have to take (what if I tell her my name?)
An approach I have to make (will she do the same?)
To keep a promise to myself (when our words begin to flow)
this above all else (I know)
that there's something here -- like we've known one another for years.
I'm Stuart you play Jean and we can read the second scene and laugh at the awkward lines.
Ride out across the bay, watch the Dolphins swim and play
hold you still when you feel a chill and hope that the sun will shine again.
Come and take a walk with me
down where we can hear the sea
rolling over the sand.
We'll find constellations in the night
while I wrap my arms round you tight
and create a memory of northland.
Made my plans just four days back and now you watch me while I pack.
There's no way I could have known... that I wouldn't want to leave here tomorrow alone.
How can we be done ...when we know that we've only begun?
Tomorrow on to new places, fresh connections, different faces. Who knows what lies ahead?
I know I'll see you again -- the only question is when, but I'll remember 'til then... the time I said…
Come and take a walk with me
down where we can hear the sea
rolling over the sand.
We'll find constellations in the night
while I wrap my arms round you tight
and create a memory of
northland.
