(background vocals by Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls)i am the navigator of the seasi built the ocean from my tearsi go whichever way the wind might blowi've been drifting for what seems a hundred yearstragically not knowing i could steerthe waves feel like a love i thought i knewi hold my breath while we ascendand love is nothing but a memory nowlike the port of every place i've ever beenand the sails feel like my only friendi've been looking for a special placejust for me and no one elseand if you want me you can find mei'll be crossing the atlantic without chartsi'm the ferdinand magellan of these partsi'm just following my compassfollowing my compass in the darkthe wind is with me under coral skiesand in my wake i leave behinda trail of others who will never seekand because they never seek, they never findand they argue that it's all a waste of timetoday marks twenty years of endless seasand true i'm weathered from her stormsmy sails are ragged but my sights are seton the comfort of a more forgiving shoreand a life that's more worth living fori've been looking for a special placejust for me and no one elseand if you want me you can find mei'll be crossing the atlantic without chartsi'm the ferdinand magellan of these partsi'm just following my compassfollowing my compass in the darki've been looking for a special placejust for me and no one elseand if you want me you can find mei'll be crossing the atlantic without chartsi'm the ferdinand magellan of these partsi'm just acting on a hunch i'mfollowing my compass in the dark.
