Lyrics Jamie Lidell

Jamie Lidell

Compass

And now I know the only compass that I need

is the one that leads back to you

And I know the only compass that I need

oh is the one that leads back to you

And the burning blisters on my feet will call

So hold me as I'm close to fall

Away from the home of your arms I stray

off the radar and into harms way

Now I know the only compass that I need

is the one that leads back to you

Coffee wakes the hand again

Coaxing letters from the pen

Words just sit like empty scribbles

such empty caffeinated riddles

Only a heart knows where I've been

Only a heart knows where I've been

Only your heart knows where I've been

Now I know the only compass that I need

is the one leads back to you

Now I know the only compass that I need

is the one Leads back to you

Low down low down low down

on the westside of town

can't hold my head up high so I'm licking the ground

tasting my dirt cries and drinking their sound

low low west side of town

Needing to tease out the knots and the tangles

join up the dots find the yolk

somewhere in the shambles

take a knife to the bush of brambles

and clear the way
