State Line Road — Northern Girls lyrics

Lyrics

Baby’s northern eyes are painted for the town
Baby’s northern skies, such a troubled frown
She told me
«Today I fly, won’t you help me to fly?»
On the northerly wind, a twisted lullaby
Baby’s northern friends
Sit on the passenger side
Baby’s found a way to take a ticket to ride
«Today I fly, won’t you help me to fly?»
Through the pouring rain I heard a whispered cry
Sing yourself to sleep
And run your fingers through your hair
Your needle’s in the red
Who am I to say you gotta slow down?
Baby’s northern boys
Will keep her feet on the ground
«I need a place to lay
This aching head down
Didn’t I tell ya?
Today I fly, today I fly
How long’s it gonna before you wanna get out?
You wanna get out?»
I walked the long way to your door
I’ve walked such a crooked mile
I can’t walk no more
Today I fly
I just wanted to fly
Let me sing your morning lullaby…
Sing yourself to sleep
And run your fingers through your hair
Your needle’s in the red
Who am I to say you gotta slow down?
And there’s a wisdom in your woe
And there’s a woe that’s madness
