Fitzgerald - How Far North? lyrics

I signed on at the age of 21 The pay it was good and my body it was strong But age came quickly and my youth it was gone It fell beneath the waves but the ship still moves on and on Tell my sister and tell my mom Tell them i never meant to be gone this long Give them kisses ask them not to loose faith How far north can you go anyway? How far north can you go anyways? Sooner or later the direction has to change Daily we move forwards but the compa** stays the same How far north can you go anyways? Cold air has come and it's split my lip again Makes my lungs burn everytime I breathe it in Holes in my mittens and my jacket's starting to fray How far north can you go anyway? How many nights have I dreamt of home? How many nights have I lay frozen and numb? Breaking through late afternoon HHow far north can you go anyways?
