Chris Pureka - Compass Rose Lyrics
Well I'm lost today,I'm almost wanderingback to the door that slammed in my face,oh but here I am, here I am,here I'll stay...But when will the street signs stop pointing west,when will my thoughts stop drifting like smokeover the ridge to the trail we used to walk?...Oh does it sound familiar?The whole thing fades to blackand then you're waiting,waiting for it to burn again...Well I'm lost today,I won't deny it,I'm going to lay down and wait for the compass roseunder my skin to start to glow.But look how the sun has painted the trees,all these colors never known to them,colors never known to their leaves...I'd like to sing like that.Oh does it sound familiar?The whole thing fades to blackand then you're waiting,waiting for it to burn again....But I know that someday,someday, I'll offer upa song I was made to playuntil even the mocking birdsdon't know what to sayand the mornings just make sense, sense, oh yeah...And where the dawn went I don't know...just hang a white flag out the window,until the sunlight shines through it,well is it morning yet?I'm lost today,here I am wandering,it's late and I'm sure noticingthe crook of my arm is lonely...But look how the snow has painted the townso that all of the street light is dancing, dancing around...I'd like to love like that.Does it sound familiar?But I know that someday,someday I'll offer upall my Sunday afternoonsuntil the rocking chairshave gone and worn right throughthe paint on the porch floorand we're grey and grey and gone, gone, gone....
