The north shore's pretty
Candlelight, Apple Brown Betty
Clear December skies
Makes you want to breathe

I walk out under heaven's eyes
With the old bra burner
Angry by design
Because she still believes

Oh, you've got a long reach
I'm trying to lose you
I'm trying to lose you
Oh, I've gone a long way trying to lose you
Trying to lose you

The old world family ghost appears
A big bold Ginny, holding back those tears
Like you never bleed
A code word, pulling back the years

It's old time Yankee
"Can't get there from here"
If you never leave

Oh, you've got a long reach
I'm trying to lose you
I'm trying to lose you
Oh, I've gone a long way, trying to lose you
Trying to lose you

I'm bound to lose my way
I'm bound to lose my way
I'm bound to lose my way
