My heart is a beating compass pointing to the pole

The great expanse of stillness, the true magnetic north

C                    Cm            G                 A7
I know the sky blue longing of a cloud of spiraling birds

Wherever you are tonight as you close your eyes to sleep

  Am                 D7               G
Think of me as you drift away to the mist of silver dreams

            C               Cm             G               A7
And I will find you in the darkness where water turns to steam

Am                  D7          G                 Gb13 G6 G7
Your pull upon my heart could steer ten thousand wings
