northern star

standing there like a scarecrow

cold wind blows i know where to go

i been all around here like a

thin man looking for a room

the more i see the less i know that i know

i've been here i been there

i've won and i've lost my share

been on top and i've been tossed

i've been like the underdog

whether i've won or lost

you were always my cause

no matter where you are

you're like the northern star

stand proud there my beauty

don't forget your love nor duty

down each passage and avenue

you take what you can

and in time you know what's true

i hate long goodbyes now

so i'm gonna stand outside

and let the sun shine down on me

smile not think about how far away you'll be

i wonder sometimes how the brighter light's outshone by the weaker one

i've been here i been there

i've won and i've lost my share

been on top and i've been tossed

i've been like the underdog

whether i've won or lost

you were always my cause

no matter where you are

you're like the northern star
