From the recording Lost in the Land of Midnight Sun
3 months spent travelling through Alaska and Canada, endless summer nights, mighty and wondrous rivers and forests, bears, bald eagles, log-cabins, red-necks mermaids and saviours...I met them all.
Lyrics
Like Shangri-La there in the night,
Flew into an endless light.
Follow the line where eagles fly,
Past snowy mountains touching the sky.
Follow the line or follow your heart,
Far from time, far from man,
Lost in the land of midnight sun,
Day lasts all night it just goes on.
Like being in paradise again.
Kindness of strangers takes me on,
To the wild forest song,
Hear the spirits call to me,
Born again through all I see.
Guide me on towards the sea,
Magical land of ice and fjords,
Miles from nowhere out at sea,
Miles from nowhere’s a good place to be.
Like being in paradise again.
Now that I’ve seen it,
I want to feel it,
Just need to breathe in,
Pure mountain air,
Land of the midnight sun.
I lost a lady out at sea,
Tide was falling waiting for me.
I heard her calling there in the night,
Little lost mermaid searching for home.
Lost in the land of the midnight sun,
Day lasts all night it just goes on,
Like being in paradise, again.
3am in Ketchikan,
Back to the land of living man,
Lights of man seem vulgar and bright,
I watch the moon and wait for the night.
Lost in the land of midnight sun,
Day lasts all night it just goes on,
Lost in the land of midnight sun,
Follow your heart to Shangri-La.
Like being in paradise again.
Now that I’ve seen it,
I want to feel it,
Just need to breathe in,
Pure mountain air,
Land of the midnight sun.
