Matthew and the Atlas - To the North lyrics

He took that family to the
Fog by Steeler’s cove
Cold hands, not much to say anymore
Doesn’t take too long!
He lived in solitude to the north
Where wild flower burn
Black fall would weigh like lead til
The chain set in his hand

Morning would come and he would be back home
He’d taken his time and taught
Them all he’d known he left on the farm
He left them on their own
Promises burned, he burned them there alone!
Promises burned alone!
He’d move from town to town
With a love untouched
In God he did trust, adored him
He’d done what he’d want

Morning would come and he would be back home
He’d taken his time and taught
Them all he’d known
Left on the farm, he left them on their own
Promises burned, he burned them there alone!
Promises burned he burned them there alone!
