Whispers of the North - Gordon Lightfoot

Whispers of the north

Soon I will go forth

To that wild and barren land

Where nature takes its course

Whispers of the wind

Soon I will be there again

Bound with a wild and restless drive

That pulls me from within

And we can ride away

We can glide all day

And we can fly away

Whispers of the north

Soon I will return again

To those endless afternoons

In sunshine and in rain

Whispers of my love

Days and weeks on end

I will share my thoughts of her

In prayers that I will send

And we can ride away

We can glide all day

And we can fly away

Whispers of the north

The river and the shore

In the land that tested Eskimos

Ten thousand years before

Whispers of my heart

In the tracks of animals

I will leave my footprints there

To lie beneath the snow

And we can ride away

We can glide all day

And we can fly away

Whispers of the wind

I will feel it sting

I will see it rise and fall

I will hear it sing

The sound is like a song to me

It takes away the pain

The river is the melody

And sky is the refrain

And we can ride away

We can glide all day

And we can fly away

And we can ride away

We can glide all day

And we can fly away

Whispers of the north

Soon I will go forth

Whispers of the north

Soon I will go forth
