Lyrics

(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
Ran out the door some years ago
Slingin' words at my old man like thistles and stones
Said, "No need to worry, I'll never come home"
My mom cryin', "Don't go" as I raced down the road
Straight through, 'til sun fell, I kept up the pace
'Til darkness embraced me and I lost my way
Weary from travel and wet from the rain
I stopped at a tavern in Broken Mast Bay
Where a rough cut man
Said, "What's your business, lad?"
I can't find my way back home
It's cold, it's dark, I'm all alone
He said, "My boy, you're not lost yet
Just follow the compass that beats in your chest"
Twelve years had gone as a wandering man
Searching for meaning in far distant lands
Defied kings and queens and with foes, raised a glass
And fell for an outlaw named Katie McMahon
Oh, we sailed the sea seeking mountains of gold
And fountains of youth from the stories of old
Escaped from the perils and monsters below
But after it all, we had nothin' to show
Then Katy said, "My love
Our journey's just begun"
"We can make our way back home
I'm here with you, you're not alone
I'll fight with you 'til our last breath
To follow the compass that beats in our chest"
(Ooh-ooh)
So we traded swords, our sails and oars
For a simple life
Twenty years she never left my side
'Til she passed one night
Well, my love, you made it home
Without you here, I'm so alone
But I will fight 'til my last breath
'Cause you are the compass that beats in my chest
Yeah, you are the compass that beats in my chest
