Wade Bowen - Compass Rose Lyrics

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
