Northpoint Lyrics by Mike Oldfield

Northpoint Lyrics

    Have you ever been to Northpoint
    to spend your time and pray
    the prison walls are dark and cold and grey
    the writing on the wall at Northpoint
    speaks to a silent room
    they shut the bars down, leave you to the gloom

    Chorus
    How could we get any closer, so high is the wire
    And the guards won't listen
    They won't believe me
    and then it all came back
    Somewhere far above, has a new day risen
    Way beyond the searchlight, comes alive

    Then on a bright day at Northpoint
    the gate was open wide
    they chanced to look at what was inside
    there were a million stars at Northpoint
    and from the silent tomb
    they took it to the heart,
    and left for the moon

    Chorus

    Have you ever been to Northpoint
    To spend your time and pray
    The prison walls are dark and cold and grey
