Track Insight / Lyrics
Cold white flakes on a granite floor
I am locked by a heavy door
Polished glass and a steady spin
Waiting for the light to begin
Hidden deep in a mountain hold
Wrapped in velvet and rimmed in gold
Ancient stones keep the winter chill
While my needle is standing still
I am the needle, I am the guide
Keeping the secret deep inside
Spinning in circles of silver blue
Pointing the way back home to you
Blue ice clings to the temple wall
Shadows stretch as the snowflakes fall
I can feel every frozen beat
Underneath the white winter sheet
I am the needle, I am the guide
Keeping the secret deep inside
Spinning in circles of silver blue
Pointing the way back home to you
One small click in a heavy dark
One tiny flash of a metal spark
Break the seal of the heavy stone
I cannot find the north alone
Steel and brass in a quiet room
Cutting through the cold winter gloom
Looking out through a narrow slit
Watching as the morning is lit
Silver face with a steady glow
Watching all of the white wind blow
Counting seconds in rhythmic time
Waiting for the mountain to climb
I am the needle, I am the guide
Keeping the secret deep inside
Spinning in circles of silver blue
Pointing the way back home to you
Silver North, Silver North.
Tick, tick, tick, click.
Home to you.
