about

Winter in the North was written about Viv's homeland in Northumberland.

lyrics

Press your face against the window
It’s gonna be a cold one today
Watching the northern lights shimmer
Out upon to the bay

Back to my homeland on these islands
Where the holy men would walk
Only to find they had no anchor
In the winter in the north

Winter in the north ….
Winter in the north ….
Winter in the north ….
Preacher preacher made a promise
Laying a bible on a stone
Planting a rose tree in the forest
But the north could not be won

But the north could not be won
But the north could not be won
But the north could not be won

Over the hills I see you walking
Trying to look the other way
But only the wind will do the talking
It’s the north country way

It’s the north country way
It’s the north country way
It’s the north country way
It’s the north country way
