Lyrics

NEW NORTHWEST
Music &Lyrics by Heather Alexander


Here I stand, a free man, I
Finding it too hard to lie
Your regard pleads me to stay
Yet still I must make my way

God has answered my one plea
I will walk forever free
We must part, heart to heart, though still we will always be

ROCK AND WATER, FISH AND TREE,
CALLING LOUD AND LONG FOR ME!
FROM THE LAND WHERE I'LL BE BLESSED,
A HOME WITHIN THE NEW NORTHWEST!


From the truth we cannot hide
I cannot stay by your side
You will have to let me go
Knowing all that I now know

Secrets we both have a few
This one I have told to you
Salt and loam, hearth and home, will give to me life anew

There’s a time I know not when
Separate paths may cross again
Eyes will meet and hands will clasp
Pain this day will loose it’s grasp

We’ll both have our lives and still
Of this bond not have our fill
Trust my friend, in the end, it’s all up to heaven’s will


There’s the land where I’ll be blessed!
My home within the New Northwest!
