lyrics

1. Northern spirit calls you, landing you back home.
Endless summer days with friends,
no matter where you'd roam.
Dancing on the beach at night, bonfires burning bright.
On the wharf your ship steams in with dreams in tow
and you'd wonder if you'd ever get to go.

Chorus:
Free bird...soaring ever higher...ever on.
Wheels turn deep into the night until the dawn.

2. The snow so high with frosted pictures on the window sill
and you'd wonder if the old Model-A would make it up that hill.
From the basement come the skates, that were hanging on the nail.
The wood stove in the kitchen would warm your soul.
The northern lights would guide you on the road.

(chorus)
(instrumental)
(chorus)

3. The winter breaks and with it takes the chill of seasons past.
Crocuses in bloom again, her promise made at last.
Though things have changed, you're still the same girl
running swiftly free.....with Richard and Jean and everything you mean to me.

(chorus)
