Farewell to the North Lyrics by Ian & Sylvia

Nashville

0

[Verse 1]
Don't the trees look great tonight
Like black lace on a fading sky?
And the sun's gone westward on the run
Leaving me behind with deeds undone
[Refrain]
Old tracks covered by new snow
Pull up my shallow roots and go
[Verse 2]
Watch the silver ice down the road
Walk on salt and drive safely home
I'll be far across the line come dawn
And I've laid my bets, and the game goes on
[Refrain]
Old tracks covered by new snow
Pull up my shallow roots and go
[Verse 3]
The old gray wolf has passed on my hill
Down the strip the hawk smiles and waits
May they keep the man far from their door
Breathing life and colors as before
[Refrain]
Old tracks covered by new snow
Pull up my shallow roots and go
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
But don't the trees look great tonight
Like black lace on a fading sky?
And the sun's gone westward on the run
Leaving me behind with deeds undone
[Refrain]
Old tracks covered by new snow
Pull up my shallow roots and go
