about

This was the title track of my very first recording. The Shadow Of My Northern Star EP was released in 1999 by my old band The Citadels.
It was the b-side to one of the new singles last year and was delighted that the new version got some airplay too then (and very recently again)
Havent played it live in decades but maybe might resurrect it sometime (or maybe not)

lyrics

I can exist
With this wish list
Through fog and mist
We stroll and kiss
I gave my word
That I would reach out and touch you
I gave my word
That I would reach out and touch you
You know who you are
In the shadow of my northern star

And I can twist
The bitterness
A trojan gift
That lifts then shifts
I gave my word
That I would reach out and touch you
I gave my word
That I would reach out and touch you
You know who you are
In the shadow of my northern star

Cloud cover
I dont mind
The darker shelter
I see shapes that
Reflect mood inside

I dont miss
Taking the risk
The quick ship
Is a shorter trip
I gave my word
That I would reach out and touch you
I gave my word
That I would reach out and touch you
You know who you are
In the shadow of my northern star

You know who you are
You know who you are
You know who you are
In the shadow of my northern sta

What do…
A honeyed whiskey drink,
A fine cognac on a cold winter’s eve
A warm woolly jumper in muted earthy colours
A colour .. a rich mahogany warm and beautiful
and a water color painting all have in common???
