[Intro]



[Verse 1]
  
I know I'm som

ewhere South o

f you
             
And heart and 

              
mind in good o

            
ld rock and ro

ll
              
But a country 

          
boy needs lovi

ng
            
And the kind y

              
ou're giving t

             
akes away my s

oul.
     
Some days I fe

el I've taken 

flight
            
And soared up 

             
into the azure

     
 blue
             
And make no mi

        
stake about it
             
This new way o

             
f life I found

          
 I owe to you.


[Verse 2]
      
I was lost in 

the canyons
             
Where the echo

              
es of my mind 

              
keep haunting 


me
              
Until you beca

      
me my North St

ar
            
And once more 

              
I felt at ease

          
 to go to sea.
      
Sweet inspirat

ion comes a-ca

llin'
            
When that old 

             
moon glides so

           
 high above,
             
These days New

         
 England memor

ies
             
Drift soft 'cr

             
oss the meadow

         
s of our love.


[Chorus]
      
And I don't kn

ow how you rai

sed me up
             
But I'm here o

              
n this mountai

           
n right or wro

ng
     
I've changed s

o much I hardl

y know
             
The man I was 

              
before I heard

      
 your song.
    
You rolled awa

y those border

s
             
I had held in 

              
place so long 

               
I can't recall
             
But one thing 

       
I'll remember
             
Are those nigh

              
ts we spent in

             
 Vermont in th

  
e Fall.


[Verse 3]
    
One day I'll t

ry and underst

and
             
How a woman's 

              
love can take 

            
so strong a ho

ld.

But for now the mystery's fine with me
            
I'm writing al

              
l my memories 

        
here in gold
        
A sweet moment

 in New Englan

d
            
California see

             
ms a million m

          
iles away
             
A slow dance t

          
o last forever
             
'neath the sta

              
rs, and now ju

             
st look at us 

  
today.


[Chorus]
      
And I don't no

w how you rais

ed me up
             
But I'm here o

              
n this mountai

           
n right or wro

ng
     
I've changed s

o much I hardl

y know
             
The man I was 

              
before I heard

You pushed awa

y those border

s
             
I had held in 

              
place so long

But one thing

[Outro]
             
One thing I'll

   
 remember
             
Are those nigh

              
ts we spent in
