John Denver - A Little Further North Lyrics






The sun sinks behind me in the west, this is the time of day I love best.
Salt breezes murmur through the coconut palm,
as the colors change, they set a scene of tropic calm.
Seagulls headed back to land, over the mangrove and the salt pan.
By a lazy creek with a six pack and a fishing line,
win back some memories and losing track of time.
I head a little further north each year. Leave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind.
Up where my troubles can all disappear I head a little further north each year.

Feeling the night wrap around me, eases my mind's serenity.
Ocean waves are humming on the outer reef,
these balmy days and sultry nights are a welcome relief.

I head a little further north each year, taking my mind to an easier time.
Up where there's silence and the night sky is clear, I head a little further north each year.
I head a little further north each year, taking my mind to an easier time.
Up where there's silence and the night sky is clear, I head a little further north each year.

John Denver A Little Further North Comments
  1. ?.... ....

    I love John Denver's music, and this is a great cover, but I still prefer Graeme Conner's version (the original). Gotta love Australia

  2. D.... C....

    This song was written by Graeme Connors an Australian. That's why he wants to go north.

  3. a.... ....

    This makes no sense for an American to sing, heading north in America would get colder, this song is about heading north into the tropics of oz

  4. j.... ....

    Enjoy this version but it seems so out of context, listen to the original version and it makes more sense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajZxKdHhoyM&list=RDajZxKdHhoyM&start_radio=1&t=0

    Try listening to the original, written by Mackay's local songwriter Graeme Connors.. North Queensland Australia. He has numerous albums that I am sure you will love.

    He ist my favorite Singer since i was a 14 year old boy. Love his voice, his own lyrics and the way John Denver presents music in his unique way. Little further to heaven

    R. H. John didn’t write this song. It’s written by Australian singer/songwriter Graeme Connors.

  14. H.... M....

    I love John's music and this is one of my favourites. His music takes me a long way from the town's and cities and because I have bad health his music really helps me relax and brings me peace from some days when I'm in a lot of pain. The videos are beautiful and all I can add is to say thank you for his music.

    I have loved listening to John Denver for years and this is one of my favorites. The video is perfect with the words. The world's a sadder place with him gone.

    Written by an Aussie, about Aussie. Graeme Connors

  20. j.... ....

    Nice song! Ty!

  21. K.... N....

    This is a great cover - but the original got more "nerve". But Denvers version was the one I heard first, so it is a bit closer to the heart for me. A lovely song!

  22. G.... P....

    Great Graeme Connors song! ... Speaking of all things Queensland .... Is there an official video for the classic song TROPICALI? ... That song should be played every day on Queensland radio ... "TROPICAL LOVE" ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGCMiKw9UFQ

  23. m.... ....
