Compass (Thomas Gold Mix)

The north is getting cold
Good old hopes getting old
And the north wind's pushing me away
Slipping on the river
Whilst ice lays in wait
Had to leave before it got too late

And in the east, the sun goes up
That's all I forgot
And the day I was unable to pray
Had to run to find my faith
And check off yesterdays
From the dues that I needed to pay

'Cause my heart is a compass
'Cause my heart is a compass
'Cause my heart is a compass

Took a train to the west
To find a little rest
And see through the eye of the moon
Getting drunk [?]
Just to wake to a lie
Thinking, "Old man, you need to get well soon"

So I headed to the south
When the sun's coming out
Just to [?]
I got sand in my shoes
While singing the blues
Let's see what tomorrow will find

'Cause my heart is a compass
'Cause my heart is a compass
'Cause my heart is a compass
'Cause my heart is a compass
