Compass Rose Songtext
von Wade Bowen

I see the mornin′ breakin', paintin′ colors in the sky
For a moment I am taken by the minutes passin' by
Before the world comes callin', I hold tight to the life that I chose
There′s faces I remember and places I forget
Every highway town looks the same the further out I get
The lighthouse in the rearview fades away with the comin′ of the storm
But north, south, east, west, anywhere I go
I carry my lady, my love, my compass rose
She's a dancer, she′s a lover, she's a never-endin′ smile
Got bones that'll make you bleed and leave you cryin′ like a child
She's the guidin' white line and the dead-end sign in the road But north, south, east, west, anywhere I go
I carry my lady, my love, my compass rose
There′s love songs on the radio and petals in the breeze
There′s traces of her perfume in every breath I breathe
No matter far or wide, she is by my side, callin' out to me
And north, south, east, west, anywhere I go
An arrow buried deep inside my weathered, weary soul
Both hands on the steerin′ wheel, she's bringin′ me back home
I carry my lady, my love
I carry my lady, my love, my compass rose
