Lyrics

Northern Blues

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've got too much in front of me

And not enough left behind

I've got too much in front of me

I didn't leave enough behind

I can hear the devil whisper

Payin' no heed to what he says

I can hear the devil whisper

Staking no weight to his claim

And I'm all torn down

With these northern blues

Got my soul in want of

Some post-mortem truth

I keep rollin' on howling at the moon

But I'm all torn down

With these northern blues

I have no understanding

For standing outside of time

Three hundred thousand hours

Still I remain hungry for the light

The world is disappearing

Little by little

Day by day

Three hundred thousand hours

Still the weather it has not changed

And I'm all torn down

With these northern blues

Got my soul in want

Of some post-mortem truth

I keep rollin' on howling at the moon

But I'm all torn down

With these northern blues

I'm all torn down

With these northern blues

I'm all torn down

I keep rollin' on howling at the moon

But I'm all torn down

With these northern blues
