lyrics

The North is lonely
Like a left behind lover
I left her for another
To move somewhere warmer
The North is lonely
It lives far from it's neighbors
They moved far away

The North is lovely
When given some lovin'
If love never leaves you
You know you'll never leave it
The North is lovely
But it's time for leavin'
Yeah it's leavin' season

My love is lonely
I left her in the winter
She froze hard and bitter
I hardly do miss her
The North was cruel to her
But I was far crueler
She's sad I ever knew her

And know she walks alone
No place to call her home

My life is lonely
For I live with noone
And I come from nowhere
Yeah I came for nothing
I'm lonelier than her
She will find someone better
Unless I go get her

'Cause now I walk alone
No place to call my home
