lyrics

Compass (Ode to Nick)

In Mary Magdalene's arms is where you now ly
Under an old oak tree in the shadow of a spire
In growing numbers we stop by
Droves of Pilgrims under an English sky

This trail of breadcrumb that consumes and beguiles
Presume for a moment it's by that sword you died
But mighty is the man who hears through the din
And from silence conjures to make this great world spin

And your music a Compass
That many lost souls has saved
And it's on more than a cold stone
Your name is engraved

I was going to remain, a little longer, a while
In this country boneyard among the Aisles
And suddenly feeling I don't belong here
But we all come from afar just to feel near

And your music a Compass
That many lost souls has saved
And it's on more than a cold stone
Your name is engraved
