about

The first single off Great North's fourth album, The Golden Age, which will be released October 20.

lyrics

Take me back
To when we caught the late bus home
In the Wellington wind
After they cleared the bars
You were tipping your hat
To the other passengers
It felt like you and I
Would gladly take on anyone

But the years ran fast
And the days went slow
No-one ever played our singles on the radio
You said fuck em
We'll just sing our way from show to show
And if we stick together
Then we can’t be stopped

I still hear you when I talk to God
He takes the singers
But he saves their songs
To keep swirling with us
Underneath the morning sky
Swaying to the beat
Slurring bye bye bye...

I don’t have that much left
To say to you friend
When I think about it I guess I never did
You were always aching for the open road
And if you love someone
You’ve got to let them go

Didn’t know we had to hold on
Till you let us go
