Where I Live

I've never seen the Northern lights I've never seen the snow I never walked across the ice I ignore the ocean's flow Where I'm born is where I'll die Where I live is where I cry My children left on a cold night My husband said it's how things go Like rabbits blinded by the light Kids want a better place to grow Where I'm born is where I'll die At night I shiver, and I try To forget that I never cheated That I tried to be strong No matter how wise I was, I feel wrong To forget that I never followed That man that I adored Who promised me pretty sins and gold And I'm waiting for the sun And I'm waiting for the sun I will never be out of sight I'll never feel the snow I'll never reach the truth of lies I'm just watching my flowers grow Where I'm born is where I'll die At night I can't sleep when I try To forget that I never cheated That I tried to be strong No matter how wise I was, I feel wrong To forget that I never followed That man that I adored Who promised me pretty sins and gold And I'm waiting for the sun And I'm waiting for the sun To forget that I never cheated When I tried to be strong No matter how wise I was, I feel wrong To forget that I never followed That man that I adored Who promised me pretty sins and gold And I'm waiting for the sun And I'm waiting for the sun
