Lyrics

Northern Roads

Sun-warmed rocks are good a place as anywhere
To sit and drink black coffee in my underwear
It never occurred to me to try and hide my pain
I wear it like a wedding dress with a murder stain

I couldn’t quite achieve Hollywood’s bad boy look
And I’ve never circled verses In the holy book
I hold on to memories like my thinning hair
An alter of dying candles, each one a prayer

These northern roads
Bring us close
On this long, long, long, long,
long home

It’s the silence between your words, I think I miss the most
A crystal tide receding off the Alaskan coast
I caught a fleeting glimpse of a hummingbird
There’s evidence of your presence here in every verse

These northern roads
Bring us close
On this long, long, long, long,
long drive home
It's a long, long, long, long,
long drive home
It's a long, long, long, long
long drive home
It's a long, long, long, long,
drive home

Oh, these northern roads
bring us close
On this long, long, long, long
Long drive homes
It's a long, long, long, long,
long drive home

Sun-warmed rocks are good a place as anywhere
To sit and drink black coffee in my underwear
