frozen northern shores

magnetic north

The music is pounding from inside the little beach arcade
the blizzard on machines
destroying anything
like a moment on which everything is hanging
it all dissolves, right at the door
i see you on those frozen,those frozen northern shores
it's your tears they drip a poem
i see you on those frozen,those frozen northern shores
it's your tears they drip a poem, a poem, a poem.
a brittle stick of wood,
thats been floating in the sea for days
just wind up in this place
and on my hand it scrapes your name
with the note, and apology
but it hurts you even more
i see you on those frozen,those frozen northern shores
it's your tears, they drip a poem;
i see you on those frozen,those frozen northern shores
it's your tears, they drip a poem;
i see you on those frozen,those frozen northern shores
it's your tears they drip a poem, a poem, a poem.
this holiday has the stain and smell of emptiness
we taste it on our breath, but we make no comment
all we need is a few days to share some warmth
make it like it was before
make it like it was before.
'cause i see you on those frozen,those frozen northern shores.
it's your tears, they drip a poem
i see you on those frozen,those frozen northern shores.
as your makeup starts to run
i see you on those frozen,those frozen northern shores.
it's your tears, they drip a poem
i see you on those frozen,those frozen northern shores.
it's your tears they drip a poem, a poem, a poem.
