Lyrics
[Verse 1] You keep a small compass in your coat The needle trembles when you laugh We trace the names across the globe And choose a line that isn't mapped [Pre-Chorus] No promise carved in stone Just one bright road unknown [Chorus] Take me where the wild figs grow Past the hills no postcards show If the compass loses north tonight I’ll follow your hand by the firefly light Take me where the wild figs grow Somewhere only brave hearts know [Verse 2] A red kite circles over wheat Its tail writes loops above the field You say the world is incomplete That every turn has more to yield [Pre-Chorus] No need to name the place I know it by your face [Chorus] Take me where the wild figs grow Past the hills no postcards show If the compass loses north tonight I’ll follow your hand by the firefly light Take me where the wild figs grow Somewhere only brave hearts know [Bridge] Let the border fade behind us Let the distance change its name There are roads that wait to find us There are skies we haven’t claimed [Final Chorus] Take me where the wild figs grow Past the hills no postcards show For the first few steps, just you and I With the turning earth beneath the sky Take me where the wild figs grow Now the whole wide world can know Take me where the wild figs grow And I’ll never travel home alone [Outro] Wild figs grow Wild hearts know
