Northern Plains
Alan Doyle

[Verse 1]

A stupid me, I took a morning picture

To send to you ten thousand miles away

The yolky sun rising on the snowfield

And I swore I wouldn't think of you today


[Verse 2]

The frozen line takes me across the border

A hundred years of horses lead the way

Why do stubborn leaves turn forever colder?

There's nothing left to cling to anyway


[Chorus]

I know you'll break my heart again

Somewhere on the northern plains

Tired lovers left alone to lie

Far beyond the golden grate

An emptiness I can't explain

Our hearts are always broken in the sky

As the northern plains go by


[Verse 3]

Holding on to ghosts gets you nowhere

You'll burn, forgetting quietly each day

I've never seen so far without an ocean

And I've never longed for something more to say


[Chorus]

I know you'll break my heart again

Somewhere on the northern plains

Tired lovers left alone to lie

Far beyond the golden grate

An emptiness I can't explain

Our hearts are always broken in the sky

As the northern plains go by


[Bridge]

I don't know where the moments go

Or if love can be replaced

And I don't know why the morning snow

Reminds me of your face


[Chorus]

But I know you'll break my heart again

Somewhere on the northern plains

Tired lovers left alone to lie

Far beyond the golden grate

An emptiness I can't explain

Our hearts are always broken in the sky

As the northern plains go by

As the northern plains go by

As the northern plains go by
