A Little Further North

The sun sinks behind me in the west

This is the time of day I love best

Salt breezes murmur through the coconut palms

As the colors change, they set a scene of tropical

Seagulls heading back to land

Over the mangroves and salt pans

By a lazy creek with a six pack

And a fishing line

Win back some memories

Losing track of time

I head a little further north each year

Leave the cities behind

Out of sight, out of mind

And when my troubles can all dissappear

I head a little further north each year

Feeling the night wrapped around me

Eases my mind in serenity

Ocean waves are humming on the outer beach

The balmy nights and sultry days are welcome relief

I head a little further north each year

Leave the cities behind

Out of sight, out of mind

And when my troubles can all dissappear

I head a little further north each year

I head a little further north each year

Taking my mind to an easier time

And when there's silence and the night sky is clear

I head a little further north each year
