No More Blues - The Idea of North

No more blues, I’m going back home

No more blues, I promise no more to roam

Home is where the heart is, the funny part is

My heart’s been right here all along

No more tears and no more sighs

And no more fears, I’ll say no more goodbyes

If travel beckons me I swear I’m gonna refuse

I’m gonna settle down and there’ll be no more blues

Everyday while I am far away

my thoughts turn homeward, forever homeward

I travel 'round the world in search of happiness

But really all the happy and joyful times

they were always in my hometown

Up 'till now I have tried to escape life

Jump on a place and take off far from problems and strife

But it didn’t work, 'cause problems have this habit of

chasing you around, not letting go

No matter where you try to run away to

They will follow you and force you to look them right in the face

So you can run to a place if you think you’ll find a space

And you can race until you’re red in the face

But I can tell you from experience that you must embrace

those problems as your own

Before you find the inner peace that you’ve been looking for

Return with nothing to fear then you can

Clear your uneasy mind, leave it behind,

rewind and then you’ll find

That your happiness, if it’s from inside you’ve nothing to lose

That’s when you’ll have no more blues
