I'm Ready to Head Back North (Eileen)

Ready to Head Back North (Eileen)

I'm ready to head back north, Eileen
Cross the mountains and the desert we crossed
Back to where your heart adores the foggy coastal scene
Since your happiness ain't worth being lost

The awe and shine fade from your eyes as we speak
I've taken note as each day goes by
Your words are softer and are starting to sound weak
And some nights I hear tears running away from your eyes

I'm ready to head back north, Eileen
To where your feet know every street, bridge and stream
Where the morning mist lifts not till 12:15
I'll carry you on home so you don't have to dream

I know my heart is yours Eileen
Your intention's good and you've never left me blue
When you lay by me at night, I think of you as my queen
All that's dear to me is your happiness and you

The natural laughs I heard echo in September
Are rarely caught by any n I miss that sound
Your playful self you'll soon be to remember
As we hit the road homeward bound

To that home-stay on the ocean
Dear Eileen you'll see once more
When those familiar smiles hit you with kindness and devotion
Your happy face will return to you as before

Where stories are told all night long
And your insides are warmed by your mother's pot
Our random conversations will sound like old folk-songs
And your saddened eyes will soon be forgot

I'm ready to head back north, Eileen
Cross the mountains and the desert we crossed
Back to where your heart adores the foggy coastal scene
Since your happiness ain't worth being lost
