[Verse 1] You wake in the dark glass Hands on the wheel of the rain No map on the table Still you know your own name Like a mariner watching Black water split at the bow You can chart your own fire You can choose it now [Pre-Chorus] Red cloak on your shoulders Heavy, then holy Golden light in your pocket Quiet, but glowing Every hard turn Every missed sign Pulls you back, pulls you back To your line [Chorus] True north, true north Pull me back, pull me back True north, true north I know my way through that (Through that) True north, true north I was built to last Red cloak, gold hands I’m coming home at last [Verse 2] Flowers in the concrete Waiting under the frost Proof that something tender Can survive what it lost You are fortified When the ground shakes wide No storm can unmake What you hold inside [Pre-Chorus] Red cloak on your shoulders Heavy, then holy Golden light in your pocket Quiet, but glowing Every hard turn Every missed sign Pulls you back, pulls you back To your line [Chorus] True north, true north Pull me back, pull me back True north, true north I know my way through that (Through that) True north, true north I was built to last Red cloak, gold hands I’m coming home at last [Bridge] If the water turns wild If the horizon lies I’ll trust the small pull Behind both my eyes Not the noise, not the fear Not the slipping sand Just the compass within In my open hands [Final Chorus] True north, true north Pull me back, pull me back True north, true north I know my way through that (Through that) True north, true north I was built to last Red cloak, gold hands I’m coming home at last
