Lyrics
[Verse 1] You keep a tiny compass in your coat Its needle dances near the northern coast I traced the line where restless rivers turn And found a different kind of way to learn [Pre-Chorus] No map can tell us what the miles will mean Somewhere between the red and evergreen [Chorus] Follow the pull beneath your skin Let the open country take you in If the road bends, let it bend Every wrong way starts a new adventure Hold your courage like a thread Tie it to the words you never said We don't need to know the end Just keep moving where the compass sends [Verse 2] A flock of cranes rose over western fields Their silver wings made all the distance yield You laughed and said the sky was wide enough For every doubt to turn to something tough [Pre-Chorus] The ground may shift beneath our feet awhile Still, every mile can teach the heart to smile [Chorus] Follow the pull beneath your skin Let the open country take you in If the road bends, let it bend Every wrong way starts a new adventure Hold your courage like a thread Tie it to the words you never said We don't need to know the end Just keep moving where the compass sends [Bridge] Maybe wonder isn't far away Maybe it is choosing not to stay At the edge of what we understand We become the people that we planned [Final Chorus] Follow the pull beneath your skin Let the open country take you in If the road bends, let it bend Every wrong way starts a new adventure Hold your courage like a thread Tie it to the words you never said We don't need to know the end Just keep moving where the compass sends [Outro] Where the compass sends Where the compass sends
