lyrics

Day One, I stole onboard a northbound ship
No one saw me or my shadow
On the gang plank
For that I am thankful
I am thankful

I’m a North Bound
oh oh oh I’m a North Bound
oh oh oh I’m a North Bound Stow-oh-oh-Away

Day Two, I kept myself well hidden
In my hiding place
Under the calico
And it’s drowsy work
When you’re staying invisible
So I drifted off and we put out to sea

I’m a North Bound
oh oh oh I’m a North Bound
oh oh oh I’m a North Bound Stow-oh-oh-Away

And we crossed strange meridians
In the light from the wheel house
With a trail of phosphorescence

Day Three, I was hungry and thirsty
For it’s hungry and thirsty work
When you’re staying invisible
When you're staying invisible
So I licked the salt and drank the rain
And drank the rain and licked the salt again Again

I’m a North Bound oh oh oh
I’m a North Bound oh oh oh
I’m a North Bound Stow-oh-oh-Away

Day Seventeen, sustained by a dream
And I’m still the hidden cargo
That’s remained unseen
Thankfully thankful
I am thankfully thankful
I am thankfully... Thankful

Day Thirty Seven, I discover a seed
Hidden in the sole of my boot
It’s been there all along
So I break the seed in three
The first piece is my breakfast
The second I take for my supper And the third...
Is my midnight feast

I’m a North Bound oh oh oh
I’m a North Bound oh oh oh
I’m a North Bound Stow-oh-oh-Away

And the rain gets sweeter And the rain gets sweeter The higher we go
And the salt turns to sugar The higher we go
And the rain gets sweeter The higher we go
And the salt turns to sugar The higher we go
And the rain gets sweeter The higher we go
And the salt turns to sugar The higher we go
And the rain gets sweeter The higher we go
And the salt turns to sugar The higher we go
