The fourth single from Finn's upcoming second album 'Into the Arms of Ghosts'. 

LYRICS:
The bitter taste of city air on my tongue.
And the back of his head round every corner I turn.
How can one place carry all of these hearts?
All these futures, hopes and dreams and false starts. 

Nothing beyond 
sandstone blonde. 
Granite and grey, 
nothing to say.

Oh, northbound train.
Oh, northbound train.
Oh, I’m counting on you to deliver what stone can’t contain,
northbound train.

Show me starlight on a sky of pitch black.
Send me uphill with the wind on my back.
Oh, give me to the lochan. I am hers to keep.
And let these flashbacks slip away as I sleep. 

Tenement red,
unmade bed.
Granite and grey
falls away.

Oh, northbound train.
Oh, northbound train.
Oh, deliver me please to where only my freedoms remain,
northbound train.

Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, deliver me please to where only my freedoms remain 
northbound train

Northbound Train

LYRICS: 
Waiting like a shadow in the corner of my little eye, I spy him. 
Waiting like a lover who’s forgotten how to kiss and touch. 
Here in his embrace I hear him whisper in my ear.
He asks me; baby, is it all too much?

Does your heart hurt?
Do you need someone to lay you down?
In the morning,
When you wear upon your head that crown.
In the evening, 
When into yourself you dive and drown.
Does your heart hurt?
Do you need someone to lay you down?
To lay you down?

He takes me to the city, as we walk he puts his arm around my shoulder. 
Takes me to the shop and anything I want to have he buys. 
But I look in the mirror and today is not my colour,
can I maybe try tomorrow on for size?

Does your heart hurt?
Do you need someone to lay you down?
In the morning,
When you wear upon your head that crown.
In the evening, 
When upon your face that heavy frown
Does your heart hurt?
Do you need someone to lay you down?
To lay you down. 
To lay you down. 
To lay you down. 
To lay you down. 

Are you my friend,
or are you just pretending that you care for me, 
loneliness?
Are you for real, 
or are you trying to steal the world away from me?
Oh loneliness.
Are you the one I need, 
or are you leading me away from myself,
loneliness?  
There is no other man who understands me like you do, 
it’s true loneliness.
