North by North - Faded Paper Figures

North by north lest we have to settle down

We can sail without the wind in this town

Things that london never saw

Northern winters start to thaw

To islands on the sea

Lands I've never seen things

Will get calmer follow me

You said a long long time ago you

Were happy being someone

Let's go far far far from home

I'll be glad to be with someone

Land pneumonia your engines in repair

Plant begonias and orchids in your hair

Continents all made of clay

Dreamers leaving every day

To islands on the sea lands I've never seen

Things will get calmer follow me

You said a long long time ago

You were happy being someone

Let's go far far far from home

I'll be glad to be with someone

Someone told me you had oceans in your eyes

Cold as shadows over european skies

Coasting out the shallow day

Leaving london in decay to islands on the sea

Lands I've never seen things

Will get calmer follow me

You said a long long time ago

You were happy being someone

Let's go far far far from home

I'll be glad to be with someone

You said a long long time ago

You were happy being someone

Let's go far far far from home

I'll be glad to be with someone

You said a long long time ago

You were happy being someone

Let's go far far far from home

I'll be glad to be with someone

You said a long long time ago

You were happy being someone

Let's go far far far from home

I'll be glad to be with someone
