Factories lie empty
Manufacturing emptiness
Life still needs to be filled none the less
So go and find something to love
But just promise me this one thing, yes

Oh, please stay in sight of the mainland
Yes, please stay in sight of the mainland

I don't want you to go
But I know you've got to go
So before you go
There's just one thing you ought to know, yeah
There's just one thing you ought to know, yeah
There's just one thing you ought to know, yeah
There's just one thing
Just one thing

You can fill your life with love
You can fill your life with owt
You can fill your life with food and drink
Or whatever floats your boat
I'll be watching from the shoreline
I'll be singing you this song
There's a million things in store for you
Just beyond the horizon

So, please stay in sight of the mainland
Yes, please stay in sight of the mainland

You're wiser than I'll ever be
You're beautiful, smart, so funny
You fill my heart, you fill my dreams
And my only hope is you succeed, yeah
My only hope is you succeed, yeah
My only hope is you succeed, yeah
My only hope
You're my only hope

So please
Please
Please
Please
Please
Trust and believe
In you and me

Northern lights will guide you home
Northern lives just like your own
Northern rain, northern rain turning into a flood
So don't forget your northern blood
No, never forget your northern blood

And please stay in sight of the mainland
Yes, please stay in sight of the mainland

Please stay in touch with me
In this contactless society
Anywhere that you may be
The Northern Star leads back to me, yeah
The Northern Star leads back to me, yeah
The Northern Star leads back to me, yeah
The Northern star
Yeah, the Northern Star
You're my Northern Star
So please
