Native of the Northlands

Now here's a man you won't remember
Moved as slowly as the tide
Saw him coming in September
Kept her waiting till July
He said he wasn't meant to love her

He said he couldn't stand the noise
Moves where made in the right places
Until he didn't have a choice
We talked about his late surrender
As if it didn't make her cry
He took a knife out to his anchor
And rowed away into the night

(You)
You been dancing with your eyes closed
(You)
You've been away and you've been wild
(Day)
Some day I'll be enough for her
(You)
You've been away and you've been wild Rose
I tilt my cap of New York leather
While she settle's on her throne
I teach a man the cucaracha
Feel the tremble in her bones
He's not the kid that she remembers
Not now he floats around the floor
I'm a native of the northlands
But not the kind you've seen before

(You)
You been dancing with your eyes closed
(You)
Oh, you've been away and you've been wild
(Day)
Some day I'll be enough for her
(You)
You've been away and you've been wild Rose

(Some day I'll be enough for her)
Wild Rose
(You'll be the fountain of my lies)
Wild Rose
(You'll be the death of me tonight)
Wild Rose
(Dead wood can offer you a ride)
Wild Rose

But it won't be for long
How can she find this great illusion
Will lead her down the righteous path
See the light come shining through her

No one can hide a thing like that
And when I settle in Tahiti
Or off the Gulf of Mexico
I'll remember where I came from
And be the man she'll never know

(You)
You been dancing with your eyes closed
(You)
Oh, You've been away and you been wild
(Day)
Some day I'll be enough for her
(You)
You've been away and you been wild Rose

(In real life this song is from sleep walking animals)
