lyrics

My Compass Points To North

I cross the snow and ice again
Leaving day and night behind
No horizon, land or sky
And everywhere you look is white

That's when you know you are alone
Seven miles of ice below
And no tracks to take you home
I'm holding to the course
My compass points to north

The perfect circle of the sun
Never sets but travels round and round
And here the silence is my friend
Here the daylight never ends

And still my compass shows the way
Glowing green amidst the grey
The needle shivers in my hand
Pointing through the frozen land

Words and music Ray Cooper
