Northland Summertime (When I Get There)

Hey dark eyed lady, where you coming from?
North as you go your way, to the mid-nite sun
I will come to you, across the Baltic Sea I'm bound
And when I get there I know the sun will be shining on the breaking dawn
You called me on the telephone
I paid my fare anythig to get me there and nearer to you.

And when I raise my head, I'll be closer to you
From Munich town to Travemund, to the North Sea Shore
I'm nearer to you
I'm on my way, bound for the lakeland
Not so very far now, hopped a ferry, it will carry me.

CHORUS
Now only one more nite until I will hold you in my arms
and look in your eye, what's a thousand miles for a love like this
I'd be a fool to miss you.

We knew one another from stories told by our grandmothers long ago.
back When the forest would bloom, and the tontu would swoon
beneath a stary summer moon.
Back when we were young, we'd only just begun
I'd run around the world with you.

CHORUS
