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, you set a scene of tropic calm
Seagulls headed back to land Over the mangrove and the salt pan By a lazy creek with a six pack and a fishin' line Win back some memories and losin' track of time
I head a little further north each yearLeave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind Oh, up where my troubles can all disappear
I head a little further north each year
Feeling the night wrap around me Eases my mind's serenity Ocean waves are hummin' on the outer reef These balmy days and sultry nights are a welcome relief
I head a little further north each year Leave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind Oh, up where my troubles can all disappear I head a little further north each year
I head a little further north each year Taking my mind to an easier time Oh, up where there's silence and the night sky is clearI head a little further north each year
