Karen's Song

by Cory Branan

on Mutt (2012)

I am following a compass that is always pointed South
Every body 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
Rosen 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
She gotta sad little fiddle
She draws that bad bow down
I'm gonna sail away on that land locked sound
She's gotta 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
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
