Needing a lullaby - let's make it Canadian


Stayed up all night in Windsor station
My last hope for salvation
Was a girl with a North Star in her eyes

Slept under the band-shell stage
Every morning, under age
Waiting for the girl with a North Star in her eyes

She sends me where I want to go
Sleeping giants, and waves of snow
Looking for a girl with a North Star in her eyes

With the change, Lord, I stayed the same
No time to lose, no year to blame
Just lost for the girl with a North Star in her eyes

Wake up and watch her disappear
In the ways that you got here
Can't hold down that memory
Can't get back home

Every night I go to see her show
Dreams and diamonds, rodeos
Chase the girl with a North Star in her eyes

She was all I knew, I guess
Northern lights and a cotton dress
Sixteen years of restlessness and hungry for love

My whole life came down to this
Find a world inside a kiss
Go find the girl with a North Star in her eyes.

- Composers/Lyricists:  Colin Linden, Stephen Fearing, and Tom Wilson
