Whispers Of The North Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

Whispers of the north 

Soon I will go forth 

To that wild and barren land 

Where nature takes it's course 

Whispers of the wind 

Soon I will be there again 

Bound with a wild and restless drive 

That pulls me from within 

And we can ride away 

We can glide all day 

And we can fly away 

Whispers of the north 

Soon I will return again 

To those endless afternoons 

In sunshine and in rain 

Whispers of my love 

Days and weeks on end 

I will share my thoughts of her 

In prayers that I will send 

And we can ride away 

We can glide all day 

And we can fly away 

Whispers of the north 

The river and the shore 

In the land that tested eskimos 

Ten thousand years before 

Whispers of my heart 

In the tracks of animals 

I will leave my footprints there 

To lie beneath the snow 

And we can ride away 

We can glide all day 

And we can fly away 

Whispers of the wind 

I will feel it sting 

I will see it rise and fall 

I will hear it sing 

The sound is like a song to me 

It takes away the pain 

The river is the melody 

And sky is the refrain 

And we can ride away 

We can glide all day 

And we can fly away 

And we can ride away 

We can glide all day 

And we can fly away 

Whispers of the north 

Soon I will go forth 

Whispers of the north 

Soon I will go forth
