STEVE ISON - I'm Leaving
Video made from footage of an amazing trip i had to North & South Tahoe, California in June where my old friend Steven Highburger was marrying his lovely girlfriend Amanda Clemens..He generously used the wedding as a wonderful opportunity to reconnect old friends together again from the time in Pelekas Corfu in the 80s , where we originally met.We used to all live communally in bamboo huts on the beach there through the summer and meet up every year through the 80s & early 90s..Some of the people in this video i hadn't seen since then & Steven himself i hadn't seen for 19 years ! A truly joyful,memorable trip in such a beautiful place it was though, catching up with old friends and meeting wonderful new ones too..Thanx so much Steven & Amanda !

MIKE CLEMENTS lyrics
I'm leaving, before the going gets rough
Make a break, get away while I can
I'm leaving, from all the bad stuff
They're never gonna find me again
I'm leaving, leaving for the North
Where northern lights electrify
Where polar bears fish the arctic seas
and a billion stars dance in the sky
The journey will be hard but I'm ready for that
Packed the sledge, fur boots, most of my stash
I'll pick up the trail along the way
Keep it simple it will work out ok
I'm leaving, leaving for the North
Where northern lights electrify
Where polar bears fish the arctic seas
and a billion stars dance in the sky
There used to be tracks to guide me
Where the hell's the summer snow gone?
Last time the Eskimos would try to hide me
Now there's nothing left to build their houses on
The nights are cold and the days are long
This empty land shadows my pain
I miss your touch you're the one I love
How I'd really love to see you again
My well laid plans never counted for this
There's no way a man can get by
This barren land'll make you cry
A stranger stands out against the sky
So i'm leaving, leaving the North
Where northern lights electrify
Where polar bears fish the arctic seas
and a billion stars dance in the sky
Yeh i'm leaving, leaving the North
Where northern lights electrify
Where polar bears fish the arctic seas
and a billion stars dance in the sky
Going back where life is easy
Drink to good times with my friends
Blend in with the cityscape
I'll never get caught again
