Lyrics
The Loneliness Of Magnets
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My heart is a beating compass pointing to the pole
The great expanse of stillness, the true magnetic north
I know the sky blue longing of a cloud of spiraling birds
All turning in an instant, a perfect spinning whirl
I feel the loneliness of magnets and the tides across the sea
I am the dark valley calling to the trembling mountain peak
Wherever you are tonight as you close your eyes to sleep
Think of me as you drift away to the mist of silver dreams
And I will find you in the darkness where water turns to steam
Your pull upon my heart could steer ten thousand wings
I feel the loneliness of magnets and trembling mountain peaks
I call you from dark valleys and I hear you echoing
