Gordon Lightfoot
Whispers of the North
[Verse 1]
Whispers of the north
Soon I will go forth
To that wild and barren land
Where nature takes its course
Whispers of the wind
Soon I will be there again
Bound with a wild and restless drive
That pulls me from within

[Chorus]
And we can ride away
We can glide all day
We can fly away
And we can ride away
We can glide all day
We can fly away

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Whispers of the north
Soon I will return again
To those endless afternoons
In sunshine and in rain
Whispers of my love
For days and weeks on end
I will share my thoughts with her
In prayers that I will send
[Chorus]
That we can ride away
We can glide all day
We can fly away
And we can ride away
We can glide all day
We can fly away

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Whispers of the north
The river and the shore
In the land that tested Eskimos
Ten thousand years before
Whispers of my heart
In the tracks of animals
I will leave my footprints there
To lie beneath the snow

[Chorus]
And we can ride away
We can glide all day
We can fly away
And we can ride away
We can glide all day
We can fly away
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Whispers of the wind
I will feel it sting
I will see it rise and fall
But I will hear it sing
The sound is like a song to me
It takes away the pain
The river is the melody
The sky is the refrain

[Chorus]
We can ride away
We can glide all day
We can fly away
And we can ride away
We can glide all day
We can fly away

[Outro]
Whispers of the north
Soon I will go forth
Whispers of the north
Soon I will go forth
