(background vocals by Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls) i am the navigator of the seas i built the ocean from my tears i go whichever way the wind might blow i've been drifting for what seems a hundred years tragically not knowing i could steer the waves feel like a love i thought i knew i hold my breath while we ascend and love is nothing but a memory now like the port of every place i've ever been and the sails feel like my only friend i've been looking for a special place just for me and no one else and if you want me you can find me i'll be crossing the atlantic without charts i'm the ferdinand magellan of these parts i'm just following my compass following my compass in the dark the wind is with me under coral skies and in my wake i leave behind a trail of others who will never seek and because they never seek, they never find and they argue that it's all a waste of time today marks twenty years of endless seas and true i'm weathered from her storms my sails are ragged but my sights are set on the comfort of a more forgiving shore and a life that's more worth living for i've been looking for a special place just for me and no one else and if you want me you can find me i'll be crossing the atlantic without charts i'm the ferdinand magellan of these parts i'm just following my compass following my compass in the dark i've been looking for a special place just for me and no one else and if you want me you can find me i'll be crossing the atlantic without charts i'm the ferdinand magellan of these parts i'm just acting on a hunch i'm following my compass in the dark.
