Following My Compass — текст песни (Hall Kristen)

(background vocals by Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls)
i am the navigator of the seas
i built the ocean from my tears
i go whichever way the wind might blow
i`ve been drifting for what seems a hundred years
tragically not knowing i could steer
the waves feel like a love i thought i knew
i hold my breath while we ascend
and love is nothing but a memory now
like the port of every place i`ve ever been
and the sails feel like my only friend
i`ve been looking for a special place
just for me and no one else
and if you want me you can find me
i`ll be crossing the atlantic without charts
i`m the ferdinand magellan of these parts
i`m just following my compass
following my compass in the dark
the wind is with me under coral skies
and in my wake i leave behind
a trail of others who will never seek
and because they never seek, they never find
and they argue that it`s all a waste of time
today marks twenty years of endless seas
and true i`m weathered from her storms
my sails are ragged but my sights are set
on the comfort of a more forgiving shore
and a life that`s more worth living for
i`ve been looking for a special place
just for me and no one else
and if you want me you can find me
i`ll be crossing the atlantic without charts
i`m the ferdinand magellan of these parts
i`m just following my compass
following my compass in the dark
i`ve been looking for a special place
just for me and no one else
and if you want me you can find me
i`ll be crossing the atlantic without charts
i`m the ferdinand magellan of these parts
i`m just acting on a hunch i`m
following my compass in the dark.
