Another day turns into night, and now I’m wondering
Why she never answers when I call
Maybe she’s busy, or sitting in a quiet room thinking
About memories of herself and me
And trying to forget them all

Hey, it’s me up here in North Country
I just want to know if you still love me
If you get this message, please call me back
Soon as you can
It's gotten cold up here in North Country
Since you left and moved so far away from me
I’d do anything if you would come back up here again
Up here in North Country
Up here in North Country

It’s like a movie I play over and over in my head
And I’m not really sure how things went so wrong
Our time together was supposed to last forever
But just like that, one day
I came home and she was gone

I’m not the greatest at expressing myself
But I have to say
There’s no one who loves you like I do
And I’m missing you more and more each day

Songwriter's Notes: North Country is the title song from Dennis Stephen's latest album. The title itself pays homage to musicians who create great country tunes in the “upper states.” Blending elements of country and rock, the song tells the story of a relationship that has gone south as a lovesick man living up north still pines for his ex to no avail. However, the mood of this melodic song remains upbeat, and a solid country rock vibe prevails.
