Tina Dico - True North Lyrics
They say it’s a cold placeIcy and greyWith a wind that cuts throughMarrow and boneI’ve heard the earth cracks open wideBefore your eyes and mightSwallow you wholeThey say you can get lost for daysIn landscapes of big emotionsIn the endless night when the sun doesn’t careTo crawl out of bed behind the oceansWe never learned to use a compassWe never learned to read these mapsWe always yearned for far-off countriesWe never found a straight way backAnd it’s a miracleA miracleWe found true northTrue northThey say it’s an old placeWith ancient talesOf violence and warPassion and soulBut I’ve seen the West bleed into the EastLike a slow breezeBlowing ripples of hopeAnd I know I could get lost for lifeInside these stories I’ve heard‘Cause it all just shows that what we knowIs just the tip, the tip, the tip of the icebergWe never learned to use a compassWe never learned to read these mapsWe always yearned for far-off countriesWe never found a straight way backAnd it’s a miracleA miracleWe found true northTrue north
