I know there to sail your heart must be true
And that the ocean is a mirror, listening in blue
I'm alone now as the branches, as faint now as the leaves
The aeroplane is a dream and the pilot is me

We are running north and south
The world's a window, I'm looking out
And the trees now are only trees
The wind is just wind, the sea the sea

Of the moon, I can say it's round
Of song, I can say it's sound
On the land, my heart is silent
But over sea I hear it pound
And I know that this is the circle now of my days
But I will hover over oceans for generations
Until I fade

We are running north and south
The world's a window, I'm looking out
And the trees now are only trees
The wind is just wind, the sea the sea

We are running north and south
The world's a window; I'm climbing out

Running North and South

I’m a steady rolling man, sometimes my life feels like a traffic jam 🚦

Running North and South
