Lyrics: Tim Magwood
Music: Tim Magwood/Jim Dale
Listening to your music as the waves roll in
Wrote about our landscape, from the beginnin’
Trains, shipwrecks, lovers and such loneliness
Your storytelling, it had such finesse
You’re our Northern Son
A song for everyone
Northern Son
You & Dylan shaped the folk art genre
You brought us Sundown in ‘74
The waving hayfields and the winds begin to blow
Getting lost in your afterglow
You’re our Northern Son
A song for everyone
Northern Son
Out on Gitche Gumee, where the legend hides
Been lookin’ hard, but no one finds you
If you could read my mind or see the signs
You say much more, between the lines
You’re our Northern Son
A song for everyone
Northern Son
The sun is down, but your songs live on
Like the rails that those trains roll on
Our kids still listen to your songs of yesterday
They live forever, here always
Northern Son
A song for everyone
Northern Son
You’re our Northern Son
A song for everyone
Northern Son
Northern Son
