The North

It's so cold in this country
Every road home is long
He had a map that he bought
For the price of his soul
He had a reason to go there
And a warm place to stay
And when it came time to leave
It was never the right day

Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck bad luck survivor

There was a girl who he married
And he left her behind
He couldn't picture her face now
It was like he was blind
Up at five in the morning
Every breath was a stone

It's so cold in this country
You can never get warm

Good luck bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck bad luck survivor
Good luck bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck bad luck survivor

It's a strange disappearance
It's a real mystery
Is he asleep in the snow
Does he feel free
There's a person he once was in a place far away

It's so cold in this country
I told her in May

Good luck bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck bad luck survivor
Good luck bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck bad luck survivor
Survivor
