Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Available on the album the one Have you seen the north That cold grey place Don't want it's shadow anymore On my face A man grows bitter We're a bitter race Some of us never get to see A better place In the northern skies There was a steel cloud It used to follow me around But I don't see it now There's a farm in the rain And a little farmhouse There were a young man's eyes Looking south The north was my mother But I no longer need her You trade your roots and your dust For a face in the river And a driven rain that washes you To a different shore There's a north in us all But my north can't hold me anymore
