Lyrics
When i set out on the road
It was dark and it was cold
I was a young child spinning on a compass rose
It was the first time I’d ever chosen where I’d go
Where I’d go
Some faces left behind
I’ll never see again
Some memories got frozen in the wind
Some people’s race
Got tripped up at the gate
Some part of life got woven in my fate
In my fate
When i set out on the road
It was dark and it was cold
I was a lost child spinning on a compass rose
It was the first time I’d ever chosen where I’d go
Where I’d go
Time passed my shoes were getting thin
The lines on my face were getting deep
There was an empty sheet of paper beneath my pen
I woke up late one night and knew this was no time to sleep
It was no time to sleep
When i set out on the road
It was dark and it was cold
I was a young child spinning on a compass rose
It was the first time I’d ever chosen where I’d go
Where I’d go
Somehow got frozen in the wind
Frozen in the wind
And i wish i could go home again
And see the faces of my friends
Frozen in the wind
Frozen in the wind
