True North

At the closing of the day when all your colours turn to grey you know there’s a place there for you

The world just seems to carry on the same old way its always done in spite of the things that we do - There’s not enough peace and love in this life but there’s a hundred  billion stars way up above in the night

Get yourself a subway train you gotta get yourself an aeroplane - you know I’ll be waiting for you

C’mon and sing me a love song I’m so mad about

I wanna take you to places ... drive you out of your mind

Here comes the summer sun rising in the deep blue sky - and that’s why, yeah that’s why I’m gonna be there tonight    

Chorus: Miles away we’ll find a place to stay in Summertown - close your eyes and simply drift away to Summertown

Way down in summer town there’s a place where we can be free to be who we want to be - take my hand down by the river, gotta get this thing get this together oh yeah

Chorus: Miles away we’ll find a place to stay in Summertown

Close your eyes and simply drift away to Summer town

Here in Summertown there’s a place where we can be free to be who we want to be - take my hand down by the river gonna get myself get this together ..Oh yea

And when your heart is aching I’ll take you down to Summertown

And when your heart is breaking I’ll see you down in Summertown

And when your bodies aching I’ll see you right down there in Summertown

And when your is heart aching - I’ll see you there

In Summertown - Summertown - repeat

All that matters ... is how you pay you pay your dues

Twinkling lights on Slaney River welcome you back home

No worries now - no broken promise, there’s nowhere left to roam

Falcons fly grey herons dive along the misty shore

The curlew calls out a song for you down the banks of evermore

Way deep on down inside my mind when shadows come to call

I catch myself a wondering - what are we all looking for

It doesn’t matter what they say - it doesn’t matter what they’re gonna do

Life is just a passing phase and a restless rendezvous

I hope you remember to wave as we’re just passing through

Chorus: When all that matters (ooo - oo- oo ) is how you pay your dues

We trickle down this precious life like rivers from the lake

And out into the oceans wide our spirits to awake

Underneath the blanket of the stars above on high

Let all the heavens open - let the sky cry

I fool myself I’m in touch with all of my feelings

But don’t touch me now - I might fall apart

I know you know my situation

But don’t ask me why I just can’t shake the blues

Chorus: All that matters  ( oooo - oo )  is how you pay your dues

Guess that all that matters (ooo- ooo-oo) is how you pay your dues

How you pay your dues - how you pay your dues

How you pay your dues
