Sun sinks behind me in the west This is the time of [B] day I love best
Salt breezes murmur [E] through the coconut palm [A] As the colors change, they set [B] a [E] scene of
traffic calm Seagulls heading back to land
Over the mangrove [B] and salt pan By a lazy creek with a six-pack [E] and a fishing line
[A] Wind backs the memories, [B] losing track [E] of time
I [A] head a little [B] further north [E] each year See [A] the cities [B] behind, [A] had to sight out [B] of line
[E] But when my troubles [A] and all this is here [F#m] I head a little [B] further north [E] each year
[A]
[E]
Feeling the night wrap around me, eases my [B] mind's serenity
Ocean waves are humming [E] on the outer beach [A] These balmy days, sultry nights [B] are a welcome [E] relief
I [A] head a little [B] further north [E] each year See [A] the cities [B] behind, [A] had to sight out [B] of line
But [E] when my troubles [A] and all this is here [F#m] I head a little [B] further north [E] each year
I [A] head a little [B] further north [E] each year [A] Taking my [B] mind [A] to an easier [B] time
[E] When the silence, [A] light sky is clear [F#m] I head a little [B] further north [E] each year
