[Chorus]

And now I know

The only compass that I need

Is the one

Leads back to you

And I know

The only compass that I need

Oh, is the one

Leads back to you

[Verse 1]

And the burnin' blisters on my feet will call

To hold me as I'm close to fall

Away from the home of your arms, I stray

Off the radar and into harm's way

[Chorus]

Now I know

The only compass that I need

Oh, is the one

That leads back to you

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

Yeah, coffee wakes the hand again (Coffee wakes the hand again)

Coaxin' letters from the pen (Coaxin' letters from the pen)

But words just sit like empty scribbles (Just sit like empty scribbles)

Such empty caffeinated riddles

[Bridge]

And only your heart knows where I've been

Only your heart knows where I've been

Only your heart knows where I've been

[Chorus]

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

Oh, is the one

Leads back to you

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

Only your heart knows where I've been

Low down, low down, low down in the west side of town

Can't hold my head up high, so I'm lickin' the ground

Tastin' my dirt cries and drinkin' their sound

Low, low, west side of town

Needin' to tease out the knots and the tangles

Join up the dots, find the yolk in the scrambles

Find a soft clearin' somewhere in the shambles

Take a knife to the bush of brambles

And clear the way
