"Northwinds (2024 Remaster)" lyrics - WHITESNAKE

Taking it easy, taking it slow
I'm riding home to lay my body down
I thought about it long enough to let it slip away, yeah
But I feel like a stranger there these days

The northwind blew me across the water
Took me far away from home
It seems it ain't enough to get down on your knees and pray, yeah
I've been waiting for the sun to shine though the rain took my spirit away

[Chorus:]
I'll take the sun before the rain any day, oh Lord
Call on the northwinds when any cloud gets in my way
Nothing ever changes, the song remains the same
Feel I got a one way ticket, oh, I'm sitting
Sitting on an empty train

It's been a such a long time, on a black and ribbon road
Taking it easy, living from day to day
Sometimes it ain't so good when you're flying so high
Riding on the northwind, you'll never get the feeling to try

[Chorus:]
I'll take the sun before the rain any day, oh Lord
Call on the northwinds when any cloud gets in my way, huh
Nothing ever changes, the song remains the same
Feel I got a one way ticket, oh, I'm sitting
Sitting on an empty train

Northwinds make it oh so easy
Make me live my life too slow
It seems it ain't enough to get down on your knees and pray
I've been waiting for the sun to shine though the rain took my spirit away

[Chorus:]
I'll take the sun before the rain any day, oh Lord
Call on the northwinds when any cloud gets in my way
Nothing ever changes, the song remains the same
Feel I got a one way ticket, oh, I'm sitting
Sitting on
I'm sitting on an empty train, woah-oh

[Outro:]
So tell me how long has the train been gone? Baby, huh
Tell me how long has the train been gone? Woo
Tell me how long has the train been gone? Woo, aw, babe
So tell me how long has the train been gone?
Tell me how long has the train been gone?
I've waited so long
I even missed an empty train
