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

Bread And Wine
I found a halfway room in a seaside town
I’ll stay here for a while
Through my window I can hear the ship bells ring And I wake to the smell of the brine
The stray dogs here follow me around They seem to know their kind
And I play the piano in a harbour bar The pay me in bread and wine
Bread and wine Bread and wine
It’s taken me so long to write to you
Well I just couldn’t find a pen
And then there was the quest for writing paper And it just went on from there
I have it in my mind to tell you more
When the time is right
But meanwhile I’ll be playing waltzes
For bread and wine
For bread and wine
So how’s life in the City Of Lost Poets? Did they ever catch that thief
Who stole The Relics Of Saint Valentine, Who says romance is beat?
I can picture him running across the rooftops Laughing all the way
Who knows, maybe I’ll bump into him here And I’ll share my bread and wine
My bread and wine
I found a halfway room in a seaside town
I’ll stay here for a while
Through my window I can hear the ship bells ring And I wake to the smell of the brine
I play the piano in a harbour bar For bread and wine
I play the piano in a harbour bar For bread and wine
I’ll be playing the piano in a harbour bar For bread and wine
And they pay me in bread and wine, bread and wine
