Kathy Mattea - True North lyrics

(Wendy Waldman/Phil Galdston) He called as soon as he hit New York City The highway was like ice and the wind was turning cold He wanted me to know how much he missed me And my picture keeps him going on the lonely road True north That's where my one star lies True north If only I could fly My heart would be a compa** Leadin' to his side Headin' true north He called a hundred miles west of Chicago He said it must be snowing all the way to Tennessee I couldn't bear to say back here it's springtime What good is this southern sun when the one for me is... True north That's where my one star lies True north If only I could fly My heart would be a compa** Leadin' to his side Headin' true north Sometimes I count the miles that run between us I lie awake and wonder how much farther can we go He called last night from outside Seattle Said there's a star up in the sky that our love can follow True north That's where my one star lies True north If only I could fly I'd be the fastest bird that ever Graced the sky Headin' true north
