Faded Paper Figures - North By North lyrics
North by north lest we have to settle down We can sail without the wind in this town Things that London never saw Northern winters start to thaw; To islands on the sea, Lands I've never seen, Things will get calmerfollow me. You said a long long time ago You were happy being someone Let's go far far far from home I'll be glad to be with someone Land pneumonia, your engines in repair; Plant begonias, and orchids in your hair. Continents all made of clay Dreamers leaving every day To islands on the sea, Lands I've never seen, Things will get calmerfollow me. Someone told me you had oceans in your eyes Cold as shadows over European skies Coasting out the shallow day Leaving London in decay To islands on the sea, Lands I've never seen, Things will get calmerfollow me.
