Factories lie empty
Manufacturing emptiness
Life still needs to be filled nonetheless
So go and find something to love
And promise me this one thing
Oh please stay in sight of the mainland
Yes please stay in sight of the mainland
I don't want you to go
But before you go there's just one thing you ought to know
Yes there's just one thing you ought to know
Yes there's just one thing you ought to know
Yes there's just one thing
You can fill your life with dreams
You can fill your life with owt
You can fill your life with food and drink
Or whatever floats your boat
I'll be watching from the shoreline
I'll be singing you this song
There's so many things in store for you
Just beyond the horizon
So please stay in sight of the mainland
Yes please stay in sight of the mainland
You're wiser than I'll ever be
You’re beautiful, smart, so funny
You fill my heart, you fill my dreams
My only hope's that you succeed, yeah
My only hope's that you succeed, yeah
You're my only hope
You're my only hope
So please, please, please, please, please
Understand
Believe
In you and me
Northern lights will guide you home
Northern lives just like your own
Northern rain
Northern rain turning into a flood
So don't forget your northern blood
And please stay in sight of the mainland
Yes please stay in sight of the mainland
Please stay in touch with me
In this contactless society
Anywhere that you may be
Your northern star leads back to me
Yes the northern star leads back to me
Yes the northern star leads back to me
You're my northern star
You're my northern star
You're all northern stars
So please...
