From the recording A Light in the Darkness
North of the City is a reflection on growing up immersed "in the forest woods that grew to be home", surrounded by trees and water, far from the hussle of crowds and noisy streets. 🍃💫 I am so grateful to have grown up surrounded by nature where wooded paths showed the way to freedom and a offered a connection to the earth. The pull of the forest, the beauty of the wild, and exploring love and passion under open skies.❤️🌌 "A body is whole when the land knows your soul".
Lyrics
North of the City
I was born
well north of the city
in the forest woods
that grew to be home
A wooded path
far north of the city
showed me the way
and taught me to be free
Fishin’ for dreams
in the sweet spring sunrise
when the day dawned
I knew life was good
I found your love
well north of the city
you took my hand and
you led me home
I'll always love you
no matter where I roam
but here in our little world
your love is all I know
The dawn's sunrise
sparks the morning dew
I breath in sweet air
and lose myself in you
Walking through the tall grass
with a girl so pretty
you lay me down
well north of the city
The world it turns
far from the hustle
a body is whole
when the land knows your soul
Lay with me
the day can wait
this moment, now
is ours to take
I found your love
well north of the city
you took my hand and
you led me home
I'll always love you
no matter where I roam
but here in our little world
your love is all I know
