sail north - compass lyrics

Loading...

intro:
(ooh+ooh)

verse 1:
ran out the door some years ago
slingin’ words at my old man
like thistles and stones
said, “no need to worry”
“i’ll never come home”
my mum cryin’, “don’t go!”
as i raced down that road

straight through ’til sun fell
i kept up the pace
’til darkness embraced me
and i lost my way
weary from travel
and wet from the rain
i stopped at a tavern
in “broken+mast bay”

bridge:
where a rough+cut man
said, “what’s your business, lad?”

chorus:
i can’t find my way back home
it’s cold, it’s dark, i’m all alone
he said, “my boy”
“you’re not lost yet”
“just follow the compass”
“that beats in your chest”
(ooh+ooh)
verse 2:
twelve years had gone
as a wandering man
searching for meaning
in far, distant lands
defied kings and queens
and with foes, raised a glass
and fell for an outlaw
named “katie mcmahon”

oh, we sailed the seas
seeking mountains of gold
and fountains of youth
from the stories of old
escaped from the perils
and the monsters below
but after it all
we had nothin’ to show

bridge:
then kaite said, “my love”
“our journey’s just begun”

chorus:
“we can make our way back home”
“i’m here with you”
“you’re not alone”
“i’ll fight with you”
“’til our last breath”
“to follow the compass”
“that beats in our chest”
(ooh+ooh)
verse 3:
so we traded swords
our sails, and oars
for a simple life
twenty years
she never left my side
’til she passed, one night…

well my love
you made it home…
without you here
i’m so alone…
but i will fight
’til my last breath
cause you are the compass
that beats in my chest
yeah, you are the compass
that beats in my chest
