North View - The Lake Poets

You were a girl who came from nothing

Met a man from lesser still,

Down by the river

And the ruined paper mill.

Now the mill and you have left us

But the river it remains

Often I’ll go there

'Cos it helps to ease the pain.

I’ve got a film of you from Christmas

I watch it when I’m low

And it’s your laughing

And I feel my sadness go.

You were lost and tired and lonely

When you left us in the spring

I see that moonbeam

And I feel the joy you bring.

Cos you lived by the river,

And the North View was your home

And you lived by the river

Now you’ll never be alone.

I see you in my mirror

I hear you in my mind

I never thought that I could feel so left behind.

You were lost and tired and lonely

When you left us in the spring

I see you in my dreams

And I feel the joy you bring.

Cos you lived by the river,

And the North View was your home

And you lived by the river

Now you’ll never be x 10

Cos you lived by the river,

And the North View was your home

And you lived by the river

Now you’ll never be alone.
