Lyrics Northbound Stowaway - Adrian Crowley

Northbound Stowaway

Day one, I stole onboard a northbound ship
No one saw me or my shadow
On the gang plank
For that I am thankful
I am thankful
I’m a northbound
Oh oh oh I’m a northbound
Oh oh oh I’m a northbound stow-oh-oh-away
Day two, I kept myself well hidden
In my hiding place
Under the calico
And it’s drowsy work
When you’re staying invisible
So I drifted off and we put out to sea
I’m a northbound
Oh oh oh I’m a northbound
Oh oh oh I’m a northbound stow-oh-oh-away
And we crossed strange meridians
In the light from the wheel house
With a trail of phosphorescence
Day three, I was hungry and thirsty
For it’s hungry and thirsty work
When you’re staying invisible
When you’re staying invisible
So I licked the salt and drank the rain
And drank the rain and licked the salt again
Again
I’m a northbound
Oh oh oh I’m a northbound
Oh oh oh I’m a northbound stow-oh-oh-away
Day seventeen, sustained by a dream
And I’m still the hidden cargo
That’s remained unseen
Thankfully thankful
I am thankfully thankful
I am thankfully
Thankful
Day Thirty Seven, I discover a seed
Hidden in the sole of my boot
It’s been there all along
So I break the seed in three
The first piece is my breakfast
The second I take for my supper
And the third
Is my midnight feast
I’m a northbound
Oh oh oh I’m a northbound
Oh oh oh I’m a northbound stow-oh-oh-away
And the rain gets sweeter (The higher we go)
And the salt turns to sugar (The higher we go)
And the rain gets sweeter (The higher we go)
And the salt turns to sugar (The higher we go)
And the rain gets sweeter (The higher we go)
And the salt turns to sugar (The higher we go)
And the rain gets sweeter (The higher we go)
And the salt turns to sugar (The higher we go)
And the rain gets sweeter (The higher we go)
And the salt turns to sugar (The higher we go)
And the rain gets sweeter (The higher we go)
And the salt turns to sugar (The higher we go)
