Heather Alexander - New Northwest lyrics

Here I stand, a free man I Finding it too hard to lie Your regard pleads me to stay Yet still I must make my way God has answered my one plea I will walk forever free We must part, heart to heart Though still we will always be CHORUS: Rock and water, fish and tree, Calling loud and long for me From the land where I'll be blessed A home within the new northwest From the truth, we cannot hide I cannot stay by your side You will have to let me go Knowing all that I now know Secrets we both have a few This one I have told to you Salt and loam, hearth and home Will give to me life anew CHORUS *instrumental* There's a time, I know not when Separate paths may cross again Eyes will meet, and hands will clasp Pain this day will lose its grasp We'll both have our lives and still Of this bond not have our fill Trust, my friend, in the end It's all up to heaven's will CHORUS There's the land where I'll be blessed My home within the new northwest!
