Wild Lands - Joe Bouchard

There was something about her

A true love of mine

A true northern woman

We run out of time

And when it was over

We drifted apart

I headed out to the Wild Lands

Get her out of my heart.

And when it was over

We drifted apart

I headed out to the Wild Lands

Get her out of my heart.

She was a true northern woman.

I give thanks for the river

The moon and the stars

Thanks for the summer

For Venus and Mars.

I knew our summer was over

But I couldn’t let go

I headed out to the Wild Lands

To get her out of my soul.

She was a true northern woman.

May the North Star guide you

Lead you home from above

You can’t always be true to

The first one that you love

And when a rainy, rain night

Broke the chill with the sun

I headed out to the Wild Lands

when I realized what I’d done.

She was a true northern woman.

And.

.. And there was something about her.
