Compass Rose - Wade Bowen

I see the morning breaking, painting colors in the sky

For a moment I am taking by the minutes passing by

Before the world comes calling I hold tight to the life

That I chose

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

With coming 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 ending smile

Got thorns to make you bleed and leave you crying like a child

She’s the guiding 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 peddles in the breeze

There’s traces of her perfume in every breath I breathe

No matter far and wide, she is by my side

Calling out to me

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
