Rain slicks the pavement chrome reflects the glow
Compass needle trembles pointing where to go
Shutter clicks once captures fractured light
Negative strips curl in damp midnight
Silver north don't lie it cuts the gray
Harmonica screams where the lost boys play
Resonator slides through the midnight oil
This runaway heart beats in heavy soil
Bus ticket stubs litter my coat pocket deep
Driver don't ask where I'm bound to sleep
Neon bleeds purple on wet brick wall
Compass glints steady won't let me fall
Silver north don't lie it cuts the gray
Harmonica screams where the lost boys play
Resonator slides through the midnight oil
This runaway heart beats in heavy soil
Hammond organ hums from a basement door
Blues notes bend low on a cracked wood floor
Camera strap chafes but I keep shooting frames
Each photo a witness each face has names
Silver north don't lie it cuts the gray
Harmonica screams where the lost boys play
Resonator slides through the midnight oil
This runaway heart beats in heavy soil
Dawn cracks the horizon steel and glass
Compass still points where the lost ones pass
Shutter winds tight on the final roll
Silver north lives in my weathered soul
Silver north don't lie it cuts the gray
Harmonica screams where the lost boys play
Resonator slides through the midnight oil
This runaway heart beats in heavy soil
Silver north don't lie it cuts the gray
Needle settles shutter closes
Silver north home
