A Little Further North Lyrics - Singles - John Denver

This song appears on three albums, and was first released on The Flower That Shattered The Stone album, and has also been released on the Stonehaven Sunrise and The John Denver Collection - Calypso albums. 

The sun sinks behind me in the west 

This is the time of day I love best 

Salt breezes murmur through the coconut palm 

As the colors change, they set a scene of tropic calm 

Seagulls headed back to land 

Over the mangrove and the salt pan 

By a lazy creek with a six pack and a fishin' line 

Win back some memories and losin' track of time

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I head a little further north each year 

Leave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind 

Up where my troubles can all disappear 

I head a little further north each year 

Feeling the night wrap around me 

Eases my mind's serenity 

Ocean waves are hummin' on the outer reef 

These balmy days and sultry nights are a welcome relief 

I head a little further north each year 

Leave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind 

Up where my troubles can all disappear 

I head a little further north each year 

Photos 

I head a little further north each year 

Taking my mind to an easier time, 

Up where there's silence and the night sky is clear 

I head a little further north each year.
