Chris Pureka - Compass Rose lyrics
[Chris Pureka - Compass Rose lyrics]
Well, I'm lost today, I'm almost wandering
Back to the door that slammed in my face
Oh but here I am, here I am, here I stay
But when will the street
Signs stop pointing west
When will my thoughts stop
Drifting like smoke
Over the ridge to the trail we used to walk?
Oh does it sound familiar?
The whole thing fades to black
And 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 rose
Under my skin to start to glow
But look how the sun has painted the trees
All these colors never known to them
Colors never know to their leaves
I'd like to sing like that
Oh does it sound familiar?
The whole thing fades to black
And then you're waiting
Waiting for it to burn again
But, I know that someday, someday
I'll offer up the song I was made to play
Until even the mocking birds
Don't know what to say
And 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 noticing
The crook of my arm is lonely
But look how the snow has painted the town
So 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 up my Sunday afternoons
Until the rocking chairs have gone
And worn right through the paint
On the porch floor
And we're grey and grey and gone, gone, gone
Back to the door that slammed in my face
Oh but here I am, here I am, here I stay
But when will the street
Signs stop pointing west
When will my thoughts stop
Drifting like smoke
Over the ridge to the trail we used to walk?
Oh does it sound familiar?
The whole thing fades to black
And 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 rose
Under my skin to start to glow
But look how the sun has painted the trees
All these colors never known to them
Colors never know to their leaves
I'd like to sing like that
Oh does it sound familiar?
The whole thing fades to black
And then you're waiting
Waiting for it to burn again
But, I know that someday, someday
I'll offer up the song I was made to play
Until even the mocking birds
Don't know what to say
And 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 noticing
The crook of my arm is lonely
But look how the snow has painted the town
So 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 up my Sunday afternoons
Until the rocking chairs have gone
And worn right through the paint
On the porch floor
And we're grey and grey and gone, gone, gone
