The Coalminer's Beat – Northern Winds lyrics

Tonight, tonight down at the pier
I couldn't save my tears
the girl who's standing at the pier
I will not see her for many years
the pissin' rain fell down on us
when she kissed me goodbye
I held her a last time in my arms
and I started to cry

If I could fly like this seagull
I would be home in a day
Oh come back you mighty northern winds
take me home, take me away

Your picture I hold in my hand is
becoming grey and pale
oh just like my memories, slowly fadin' away
I wish I could turn back the time
like in my childhood dreams
and lay my head, my painful head
upon your lovely knees

If I could fly like this seagull
I would be home in a day
Oh come back you mighty northern winds
take me home, take me away

If there's anything that cares for me
I would have want toknow
If right is right and wrong is wrong
above as here below

If I could fly like this seagull
I would be home in a day
Oh come back you mighty northern winds
take me home, take me away

If I could fly like this seagull
I would be home in a day
Oh come back you mighty northern winds
take me home, take me away

If I could fly like this seagull
I would be home in a day
Oh come back you mighty northern winds
take me home, take me away
