Lyrics

True North - Emily Hickey

Those times are far, far away
North has swung around
Your babies hanging on your legs
Won?t let you set them down
?Til they see your face
It?s like that old book you used to read
But you don?t save those things

Don?t hold your fire
Even from so far away
And don?t get so tired
You don?t have to hold the weight

They thought you?d got away this time
But you just changed your calling
Came back a distant type
You deserve to be lionized
At least they can still point to home
And put their shoes up at your door

If they catch you there
Pulling with their stare
They?re only holding before they let go

Don?t hold your fire
Even from so far away
And don?t get so tired
You don?t have to hold the weight
