North and South of the River Lyrics by Jeremy Garrett

I Am A Stranger

2009

I want to reach out over the lough
And feel your hand across the water
Walk with you along an unapproved road
Not looking over my shoulder
I want to see, I want to hear
To understand your fears
But we're north and south of the river
I've been doing it wrong all of my life
This holy town has turned me over
A young man running from what he didn't understand
While the wind from the lough just blew colder and colder
There was a badness that had its way
But love wasn't lost, love will have its day
North and south of the river
North and south of the river
Can we stop playing this old tune?
Darling I don't have the answеr
I want to meet you where you are
I don't need you to surrеnder
But there's no feeling so alone
As when the one you're hurting is your own
North and south of the river
North and south of the river
Some high ground is not worth taking
Some connections are not worth making
This old church bell's no longer ringing
Some old songs are not worth bringing
