Peeling paint on the depot wall
Winter wind makes the rafters call
Two strangers stand in a frozen line
Waiting for a late night sign
Silver North in a pocket case
Catching light on a tired face
Spinning slow till the needle stays
Turning gold in a winter haze
Coffee steam in a paper cup
Looking down then he looks back up
Metal cold in a shaking hand
Tracing lines of a distant land
Silver North in a pocket case
Catching light on a tired face
Spinning slow till the needle stays
Turning gold in a winter haze
Worn out leather and rusted gears
Counting down all the lonely years
Glass is cracked but the dial is clear
Knowing home is finally near
Silver North in a pocket case
Catching light on a tired face
Spinning slow till the needle stays
Turning gold in a winter haze
One small click of a heavy latch
Striking fire from a wooden match
Steady breath in the biting chill
While the midnight world stands still
Cello bows and a flute's soft song
Right where both of them now belong
Side by side on the platform floor
Opening a long closed door
Silver North in a pocket case
Catching light on a tired face
Spinning slow till the needle stays
Turning gold in a winter haze
Spinning slow
Silver North
Silver North
