Alan Doyle - Northern Plains lyrics

A stupid me, I took a morning picture To send to you ten thousand miles away The yolky sun rising on the snowfield And I swore, I wouldn't think of you today The frozen line takes me across the border A hundred years of horses lead the way Why do stubborn leaves turn forever colder? There's nothing left to cling to anyway I know you'll break my heart again Somewhere on the northern plains Tired lovers left alone to lie Far beyond the golden grate An emptiness I can't explain Our hearts are always broken in the sky As the northern plains go by Holding on to ghosts gets you nowhere You'll burn, forgetting quietly each day I've never seen so far without an ocean And I've never longed for something more to say I know you'll break my heart again Somewhere on the northern plains Tired lovers left alone to lie Far beyond the golden grate An emptiness I can't explain Our hearts are always broken in the sky As the northern plains go by I don't know where the moments go Or if love can be replaced And I don't know why the morning snow Reminds me of your face But I know you'll break my heart again Somewhere on the northern plains Tired lovers left alone to lie Far beyond the golden grate An emptiness I can't explain Our hearts are always broken in the sky As the northern plains go by As the northern plains go by As the northern plains go by
