[Verse 1]
I am following a compass that is always pointed South
Everybody says it's busted and sometimes I have my doubts
But it led me through the wilderness
It led me to a town
It led me to your love and it has yet to let me down
I guess it gets as cold at night
She don't storm my blood with light
She lined my coat with kites
Oh, she lined my coat with kites
Oh, she

[Verse 2]
Frozen rooftop podunk bar
She rose tiptoes poking stars
Singing someone screwed the sky too tight
I laughed and filled my lungs with light
I wish I may
Wish I might
She lined my coat with kites
Oh, she

[Verse 3]
She gotta sad little fiddle
She draws that bad bow down
I'm gonna sail away on that land locked sound
She's got a ship and a bottle
Boys, what'll it be?
God speed to the bottom of the bottomless sea
And I guess it gets as cold at night
If she don't storm my blood with light
She lined my coat with kites
Oh, she lined my coat with kites
Oh, she
[Verse 4]
I've been following a compass that is always pointing South
Everybody said it's busted and sometimes I had my doubts
But it led me through the wilderness
It led me to a town
It led me to your love
It is yet to let me down
Yet to let me down
