lyrics

The Magnet

Fistfuls of sand, splinters in my hand
From the handle of a silver spade
Dirt in my boots, sweating though my suit
As our respects are paid, we won’t let a stranger fill your grave

You are the magnet, you are the glue
My compass points to you
Together you brought us ‘round
Remove the magnet from the center and we break down

It’s hard and it’s tough, heavy pieces to pick up
Memories laid in a pile
We try and make ‘em fit, to carry on, not quit
Quitting was never your style, Joanna’s singing “Honey, Baby Chile”

You are the magnet, the glue
My compass points to you
Together you brought us all
Remove the magnet from the center and we all stall

You said the church was beneath you
Your mama raised you upstairs
You sang at that alter, boy
Now you got us gathered there

Sitting on my bed I got your song in my head
Who should crawl in my window but you
You shake your head and smile, man it’s been a while
We sit together and laugh, oh how I wish that dream could last

You are the magnet, you are the glue
My compass points to you
Together you brought us all

You are the magnet, you are the glue
My compass points to you
Together you brought us all
Remove the magnet from the center and we all stall
