True North

from father & son by O'Hegarty

/

about

A song about the struggles of love, trust and loyalty.

lyrics

Well there's one too many lovers
Underneath your covers
One too many others
Rollin' in your bed

And there's one too many liars
Puttin' out you fires
While I'm fighting shadows
Livin' in my head

And the ones who fill your bed
You're lovin' them and feelin' free
You move and touch and laugh out loud
But I'm sure the joke's on me

The joke's on me but I ain't laughin'
The joke's on me but I ain't blind
A lovers heart's a shaky compass
And True North is hard to find

And the sinners now who cheat
All wrapped up in dirty sheets
Leave behind here all the saints
Halos smashed and bruised

So now I'll look you in the eyes
And ignore your many lies
While I lie awake at night
Feelin' broken and confused

And the ones who fill your bed
You're lovin' them and feelin' free
You move and touch and laugh out loud
But I'm sure the joke's on me

The joke's on me but I ain't laughin'
The joke's on me but I ain't blind
A lovers heart's a shaky compass
And True North is hard to find

A lovers heart's a shaky compass
And True North is hard to find
