Compass Rose

[Verse 1]
I see the mornin' breaking, painting colors in the sky
For a moment I am taken by the minutes passing by
Before the world comes calling I hold tight to the life
That I chose

[Verse 2]
There's faces I remember, places I forget
Every highway town looks the same the further out I get Lighthouse in the rear view fades away
With the coming of the storm

[Chorus]
But north, south, east, west, anywhere I go
I carry my lady, my love
My compass rose

[Verse 3]
She's a dancer, she's a lover, she's a never ending smile
Got thorns to make you bleed and leave you cryin' like a child
She's the guiding white line and the dead end sign
In the road

[Chorus]
But north, south, east, west, anywhere I go
I carry my lady, my love
My compass rose

[Verse 4]
There's love songs on the radio and peddles in the breeze There's traces of her perfume in every breath I breathe
No matter far or wide, she is by my side
Calling out to me

[Chorus]
And north, south, east, west, anywhere I go
An arrow buried deep inside my weathered weary soul
Both hands on the steering wheel, she's bringing me back home
I carry my lady, my love
I carry my lady, my love
My compass rose
