oh love of the north with a dream in his hand   my love has come home to this beautiful land    and he comes through the door with his eyes like the sun   and his kit-bag all full of the treasures he's won      a bottle, a broom, an old foreign tale    the shell of a clam, and the jaws of a whale   my kitchen is full of the smell of the sea   and all the fine things that my love brings to me      come gather your treasures, a garden in bloom   and bring them along to our sweet little room   with the sun in the morning ablaze on your chest   my love has come home from the north or northwest      oh love of the north with a dream in his hand   my love has come home to this beautiful land   and he comes through the door with his eyes like the sun    and his kit-bag all full of the treasures he's won
