Compass lyrics
by Graham Nash
[Verse 1]
I have wasted ten years in a blindfold
Ten-fold more than I've invested now in sight
I have traveled beveled mirrors in a fly crawl
Losing the reflection of a fight
[Chorus]
But like a compass seeking north (Seeking north)
There lives in me a still, sure, spirit part
Clouds of doubt are cut asunder (Clouds of doubt)
By the lightning and the thunder
Shining from the compass of my heart (Shining from my heart)
[Verse 2]
I have flown the frantic flight of the bat wing
And only known the dark because of that
I have seized death's door handle
Like a fish out of the water
Waiting for the mercy of the cat
[Chorus]
But like a compass seeking north (Seeking north)
There lives in me a still, sure, spirit part
Clouds of doubt are cut asunder (Clouds of doubt)
By the lightning and the thunder
Shining from the compass of my heart (Shining from my heart)
