Magnetic North

Really clipped a big one this time

Tore me down to pieces deep inside

why'd you have to make it all seem fine

right up to moment it went side -ways 

Woke up to the dream that you were gone

You weren't even ever here, you must have been a song

And in turn the whole world felt so wrong

Why'd you have to be a song

 Babe

Why'd you have to take your love away

After all the crazy games you played

Seemed like we had finally found our way

Why'd you have to go away

You were my magnetic north

Through the driving wind a driving force

You always were the one to set the course 

Now you left me here with no direction

There's a star that shined just to your right

Kept me oriented to you through the night

and it filled my darkness with such light

why'd it have to shine so bright

Babe

Yeah, you really fucked me up this time

As betrayal goes to woe you were the paradigm

I fell for you like rockets from the sky

Burning hard and stupefied

Babe

There is a silence when nighttime falls

Echoes loudly in the wood and in between the walls

Outside where all the wild beasts still call

Lies the sound of how you broke it all

Theres a midnight bell that sounds for joy

Stains the waking hours of this lonesome boy

Strange weather in the forecast for the forgotten toys

And I'd really like to find some joy so

Babe

 Babe

You Didn't have to take it all away

After all the crazy games we played

After all we'd finally found our way

So why'd you have to go away

 Here's a coat to keep you from the cold

keep you in my graces while we're getting old

And the hollow sound that is the call

Why'd you have to call the ball there Babe?

There's a star that shines just to your right

Keeps me oriented to you through the night

and it fills my darkness with such light

why's it have to shine so bright

Babe
