The Loneliness of Magnets

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
I feel the loneliness of magnets
And the tides across the sea
I am the dark valley calling
To the trembling mountain peak

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
I feel the loneliness of magnets
And trembling mountain peaks
I call you from dark valleys
And I hear you echoing
