(The Return of) Compass Rose Lyrics

Where the water meets the land

Out to see where I could stand

North to south, east to west

Compass Rose was the best

I was a boy when I got my legs

Circled the world on empty kegs

And I met every kinda crook

Father Time to Captain Hook

And I've seen every shade of red

The rose is dancing in my head

But distance is perspective

Where will I be?

What will I see?

Can she catch me?

I'm out to sea

For ports of call I never lacked

Never paid rent, then back to the Kraken

On Donna Star I did depart

I survived but not my heart

If Compass Rose still sails the sea

I know she'll return for me

Keel to crow's nest, stem to stern

Compass Rose will return

And I've been every shade of red

The rose is dancing in my head

And life is perspective

Land ho

Land ho

I'm coming home

I'm coming home

By Compass Rose

My Compass Rose

By Compass Rose

My Compass Rose
