Text: John Denver. A Little Further North.

The sun sinks behind me in the West
This is the time of day I love best
Salt breezes murmur through the coconut palm
As the colors change, they set a scene of tropic calm

Seagulls headin' back to land
Over the mangrove and the salt pan
By a lazy creek with a six pack and a fishin? line
Win back some memories and losin? track of time

I head a little further North, each year
Leave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind
Up, where my troubles can all disappear
I head a little further North, each year

Feeling the night wrap around me
Eases my mind?s serenity
Ocean waves are hummin? on the outer reef
These balmy days, sultry nights are a welcome relief

I head a little further North, each year
Leave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind
Up, where my troubles can all disappear
I head a little further North, each year

I head a little further North, each year
Taking my mind to an easier time
Up, where there?s silence and the night sky is clear
I head a little further North, each year

I head a little further North, each year
Taking my mind to an easier time
Up, where there?s silence and the night sky is clear
I head a little further North, each year
