Northern Skies

In a word it's home it's everyone we know Yeah I'll miss the northern skies Hop on a southbound bus Spanish moss on the trees It can't beat our northern skies I'd trade the warmth trade the shade Trade the southern comfort Trade it all for northern skies It's the art, it's the fight, it's liberality There's hope in northern skies Oh it's hard to leave home behind We'll miss the northern skies And it's hard work, but we'll grow in time Oh we're leaving northern skies Out there the air is cold and damp Moss grows on the trees Under north and western skies But with the new and different Open minds breathe in deep Under north and western skies Oh it's hard to leave home behind We'll miss the northern skies And it's hard work, but we'll grow in time Oh we're leaving northern skies
