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 palm

As the colors change, they set a scene of tropic calm



Seagulls headin' 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 year

Leave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind

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, sultry nights are a welcome relief



I head a little further North, each year

Leave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind

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

Up, where there's silence and the night sky is clear

I head a little further North, each year



I head a little further North, each year

Taking my mind to an easier time

Up, where there's silence and the night sky is clear

I head a little further North, each year
