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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/h/handsome_family/the_loneliness_of_magnets.html ]
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
