Compass And Companion

(Mark Erelli)

Out here on this road just after midnight

Silver sickle rising in the east

I'm steady on the wheel

But I know just how you feel

So just lean back and try to catch some sleep

CHORUS

Go to sleep my darling

There's just a fingernail moon up above

Go to sleep my darling

Am I the one you'll be dreaming of

To think of every backroad we have travelled

Of all the restless miles we have run

Should you chance to find a trace

Of a smile on my face

I'm just thinking of the miles we've still come

(CHORUS)

To me you are a compass and companion

You follow me down every road I ride

Wherever I may roam

I'm already home

As long as you are travelling by my side

(CHORUS)
