Lindisfarne - North Country Boy lyrics

Duffy I'm just an ordinary north country man I had a dream that bid me come here Although naïve, I thought that I'd make my way But fair weather friends is all that I had. They took from me all that I had to give Replenished me with their reason Don't you talk to me about your sacrifice Then ask of me if I'm leaving. I'm going down to the water today I got to wash away my sorrow I'm going down to the water today I gotta get me clean by tomorrow. I'm just an ordinary north country man My dream has edges that are fading This year that's pa**ed, it's not such a waste It's just a hard way to be learning. We've got no choice in the life that we're born to Our only choosing is in its living Now people in their own time will show just that they are I hope this time I know who I am. I'm going down to the water today I've got to wash away my sorrow I'm going down to the water today I gotta get me clean by tomorrow. I'm gotta get me clean I'm gotta get me clean I'm gotta get me clean I'm gotta get me clean.
