Up North

oh the church of jesus christ came a knocking on my

door today

they were young missionaries just trying to spread

their tide of (?) gospel

but I told them I'd be singing my own song

oh I told them that I'm singing my own song

'Cause I was thinking of my father

when I found a child in the sea cave

and I will fall into the ocean

if I dance upon that roof anymore

if I wear these crazy boots anymore

if I dance upon that roof anymore

I wear these crazy boots

And I will chew my wrist for cabin blood

I'll sew smooth rocks into my pillow

until I'm singing with my husband

and whispering 'bout the gold

and we'll always head up north to find our home

oh we'll always head up north to find our home

oh we'll always head up north to find our home

and I'll be spinning in my skirts

and knitting tiny tiny tiny tiny little hats

and when my breath becomes an island

I won't be dancing on that roof anymore

I won't be wearing these crazy boots anymore

I won't be dancing on that roof anymore

or wearing these crazy boots

and I will still be singing my own song

and I'll always head up north to find my home

oh I will still be singing my own song

and I'll always head up north to find my home

oh I'll always head up north to find my home
