Northern Soul

Midnight, moonlight

The wind blows off St. Clair

I'm stuck at a red light, waiting

At 6 Mile and Delaware

The sound of a distant Firebird

The echo of a rhyme in Smokey's words

And absence, sweet absence

Fills the freezing air

I've been wayside for years now

But no-one seems to care

Their eyes on a distant horizon

I drove them out of here

I gave you the American dream

And the music for your movie scene

But you left me, bleeding

So listen to my prayer

Oh oh

Oh oh

You can break my heart and crush my dreams

But you can never take my soul

You can crack my stones and melt my steel

But you can never take my soul

You can break my heart and crush my dreams

But you can never take my soul

You can crack my stones and melt my steel

But you can never take my soul

You can never take my soul

You can break my heart and crush my dreams

But you can never take my soul

You can crack my stones and melt my steel

But you can never take my soul

You can break my heart and crush my dreams

But you can never take my soul

You can crack my stones and melt my steel

But you can never take my soul
