Northern Holiday

Almost always traveling
My jumper's been unraveling
I snagged it on the doorpost as I left
No worth in seeing the world alone
I'm following the threads back home
Apologizing in my pants and vest

But I know that you were watching
I was on TV
I know that you were looking
Out for me

One of these days, I'll meet you
One of these days, I'll need to
One of these days, can I meet you?
One of these days

You were right, I was wrong
I forgot where I'm from
On a Northern Holiday
You were right, I was wrong
We're all off, come along
On a Northern Holiday

And I could order sandwiches
In over forty languages
But they don't make 'em like you do at home
They send us out in thunderstorms
And send us home in bandages
Turns out the streets are paved with paving stone

But I know that you were watching
On your Dynatron TV
I know that you were looking
Out for me

One of these days, I'll meet you
One of these days, I'll need to
One of these days, can I meet you?
One of these days

You were right, I was wrong
I forgot where I'm from
On a Northern Holiday
You were right, I was wrong
We're all off, come along
On a Northern Holiday

One of these days, I'll meet you
One of these days, I'll need to
One of these days, can I meet you?
One of these days

You were right, I was wrong
I forgot where I'm from
On a Northern Holiday
You were right, I was wrong
We're all off, come along
On a Northern Holiday

(One of these days)
You were right, I was wrong (I'll meet you)
I forgot where I'm from (one of these days)
On a Northern Holiday (I'll need to)
You were right, I was wrong (one of these days)
We're all off, come along (can I meet you?)
On a Northern Holiday (one of these days)
