I watched the night descend on the sky
I'm going back again for another try
Too long I've been feeling dead inside
Time has robbed the sunshine that was in my eyes
But out there in the darkness, look on the horizon
Northern star, been so long
Wherever you are, just keep holding on
Across the night I find it hard
But I see the light inside the dark
Northern star, holding on for me
There's a cool autumn wind in the air
I'll be pulling in, will she be there?
Waiting for me, the morning in her hair
On the other side of midnight, high upon a clear
Beyond the winter of my life
And I know sure as the world turns you will appear
After all this time, to see the constellations climb
And it starts anew
One by one the stars slip into blue
I can feel my heart beating strong and true
Not knowing what tomorrow holds, I keep rolling, rolling on
I know the night is coldest just before the break of dawn
Northern star, been so long
Wherever you are, just keep holding on
Across the night I find it hard
But I see the light inside the dark
Northern star, keeping holding on
Wherever you are, keep holding on
