Cold wind hits the gravel road
Heavy loads in a metal mode
Old screen stands like a giant wall
Waiting for the night to fall
Silver needle points the way
Holding out for a brighter day
Guarding ghosts of a movie screen
Purest light that he's ever seen
Rusted gates and a broken chain
Washing clean in the sudden rain
Chrome is peeling from the ticket booth
Cold metal tells a heavy truth
Silver needle points the way
Holding out for a brighter day
Guarding ghosts of a movie screen
Purest light that he's ever seen
Buses roll on the highway line
Watch the city flicker and shine
He is locked in a steady spin
Waiting for the show to begin
Silver needle points the way
Holding out for a brighter day
Guarding ghosts of a movie screen
Purest light that he's ever seen
Glass breaks under a heavy boot
Digging deep to a frozen root
North is where the static glows
Where the cold winter river flows
Snap a shot of the empty lot
Finding things that the world forgot
Small compass in a velvet case
Watching over this hollow place
Silver needle points the way
Holding out for a brighter day
Guarding ghosts of a movie screen
Purest light that he's ever seen
Silver North.
Click, flash, gold.
Silver North.
