Lyrics
Northland (My Algonquin Home) <br />
(All words and music by Don Charbonneau) <br />
<br />
I don’t mind it here alone under this northland sky <br />
Where the wind blows <br />
Through the birch trees <br />
And the colours fall gently <br />
To the ground <br />
I’m all alone again <br />
In my Algonquin home <br />
Here I am again <br />
in my Algonquin home. <br />
<br />
There’s a red sun <br />
On the jack pine tonight <br />
And I’m lost in the beauty of this land <br />
And a short time is all I had <br />
On this sacred ground <br />
My Algonquin home <br />
On this sacred ground <br />
my Algonquin home. <br />
<br />
I took some friends out here <br />
To paint with me <br />
And they all agreed that this land was free <br />
And they all went home with <br />
Some colours of the fall <br />
Taken from my Algonquin home <br />
Taken from my Algonquin home. <br />
<br />
I lost my life here on Canoe Lake <br />
But my soul I did find <br />
And a piece I left behind <br />
To help you paint this northland sky <br />
Here in my Algonquin home <br />
Here in my Algonquin home. <br />
