NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE RIVER - LIVE AT THE POINT 2006

WITHOUT CAPO!!!

			
I want to reach out over the Loch

Feel your hand across the water
			
Walk with you along an unapproved road

Not looking over my shoulder
			
I wanna see, I wanna hear
		
To understand your fear
				
But we're north and south of the river

I've been doing it wrong all of my life
This holy town has turned me over
A man on the run from what he couldn’t understand
As the wind from the Loch blew colder and colder
There was a badness that had its way
Love wasn't lost, it just got mislaid
North and south of the river
And north and south of the river

Can we stop playing these old tattoos
Darling I don't have the answer
I wanna meet you where you are
I don't need you to surrender
There is no feeling so alone
As when the one you're hurting is your own
North and south of the river
North and south of the river

			
Some high ground is not worth taking
			
And some connections are not worth making
			
The old church bell ‘s no longer ringing
			
And some old songs are not worth bringing
			
North and south of the river
North and south of the river
