[Verse 1] Don’t even think about coming back for me Winter’s closing in Don’t wake me till it’s over Here comes the Northern cold I won’t be home I’m soaked right through the bone Ice is falling from the sky I’m wearing every scar I own Still biting down on every lie Don’t tell me I can’t say it Oh, please, don’t let it rain tonight [Chorus] My God, it’s been so long I always dreamed you’d come back home But dreams don’t bring you back Who planted all these seeds? Who taught my heart to believe? And what is the truth? What truth survives the storm? Weren’t we supposed to be in the North? ⸻ [Verse 2] My memory lies down to sleep But I still remember what I lost Don’t wake me till it’s over When the winter comes God help me If I’m not ready Does the North still remember The warmth of summer rain? The words are disappearing Your name is fading in the wind They say the Northern wind still carries Everything you left behind Oh, please, don’t let it rain tonight [Chorus] My God, it’s been so long I always dreamed you’d come back home But dreams don’t bring you back Who planted all these seeds? Who taught my heart to believe? And what is the truth? What truth survives the storm? Weren’t we supposed to be in the North? ⸻ [Verse 3] The sky knows if I’m sheltered From everything that’s coming down So much has changed around me I wish I could see it now You wouldn’t know me anymore I’m not the man I was before The words are disappearing Your name is fading out Just wake me when the sun goes down I don’t want to see myself Not for the sake of lost causes Not for a love that’s already gone Is this love? ⸻ [Final Chorus] My God, it’s been so long I always dreamed you’d come back home But dreams don’t bring you back Who planted all these seeds? Who taught my heart to believe? And what is the truth? What truth survives the storm? Weren’t we supposed to be in the North? [Outro] It’s alright… Maybe it can be. Is this love? It’s alright… Maybe it can be.
