where i live

i've never seen the northern lights

i've never seen the snow

i never walked across the ice

i ignore the ocean's flow

where i'm born is where i'll die

where i live is where i cry

my children left on a cold night

my husband said it's how things go

like rabbits blinded by the light

kids want a better place to grow

where i'm born is where i'll die

at night i shiver and i try

to forget that i never cheated

that i tried to be strong

no matter how wise i was

i feel wrong

to forget that i never followed

that man that i adored

who promised me pretty things and gold

and i'm waiting for the sun

and i'm waiting for the sun

i will never be out of sight

i'll never feel the snow

i'll never reach the truth of lies

i'm just watching my flowers grow

where i'm born is where i'll die

at night i can't sleep when i try

to forget that i never cheated

that i tried to be strong

no matter how wise i was

i feel wrong

to forget that i never followed

that man that i adored

who promised me pretty things and gold

and i'm waiting for the sun

and i'm waiting for the sun

to forget that i never cheated

that i tried to be strong

no matter how wise i was

i feel wrong

to forget that i never followed

that man that i adored

who promised me pretty things and gold

and i'm waiting for the sun

and i'm waiting for the sun
