Northwind

Taking it easy, taking it slow

Riding home to lay my body down...

Thought about it long enough

to let it slip away, yeah...

But I feel like a stranger here today

Lost in who across the water

Took me far away from home

It seems it ain't enuff

to get down on your knees and pray, yeah

I've been waiting for the sun to shine

'thou the rain took my spirit away

I'll take the sun before the rain anyday, oh Lord

Call on the northwinds when any clouds gets in my way

Nothin' ever changes, the song remains the same

Feel I got a one way ticket,

Oh I'm sittin', sittin' on an empty train...

It's been a such a long time, on a black and ribbon road

Taking it easy, living from day to day...

Sometimes it ain't so good when you find it so high

riding on the northwind,

you'll never get the feeling to try...

I'll take the sun before the rain anyday, oh Lord

Call on the northwinds when any clouds gets in my way

Nothin' ever changes, the song remains the same

Feel I got a one way ticket,

Oh, I'm sittin', sittin' on an empty train...

Northwinds make it oh, so easy

Make me live my life too slow...

It seems it ain't enuff

to get down on your knees and pray

I've been waiting for the sun to shine

thou the rain took my spirit away

I'll take the sun before the rain anyday,

Call on the northwinds when any clouds gets in my way

Nothin' ever changes, the song remains the same

Feel I got a one-way ticket,

Oh, I'm sittin', sittin', sittin' on an empty train...

So the tell how long has the train been gone?

So the tell how long has the train been gone?

So the tell how long has the train been gone?

So the tell how long has the train been gone?

So the tell how long has the train been gone?

I even missed an empty train...
