Jorma Kaukonen - Song for the North Star lyrics

They gave me money To find the sky And I took it with no question Didn't even ask them why But days are open And skies are free And the time it took to learn that Didn't leave its chains on me I lived in shadow Way from the sun And the tremblin' in my mind Kept my heart and body on the run Then freedom called us Called out our names And the beckon of the highway Saw through all our useless games The love we wanted Was lost in lies And the chance that slipped on by me Like the flashin' sorrow in her eyes Then we took the rise together For the first time in our lives Feeling just like one suspended Then we said time won't keep our strife Our time is open For us to see And our freedom schemes are open Like the seagulls soaring at the sea And our freedom schemes are open Like the seagulls soaring at the sea
