“South of Compass”
Lyrics & music by Ed Price

Verse

A heavy knock, I scurry to…
excited, I throw open the door…
A familiar face but not who I’d hoped
it’s been too long to be you anymore

The years have passed and so have you
I try to move on but it’s hard
You were always there for me
and now it seems you’re not.

Pre-Chorus

As I drift asleep tonight, I feel
you hold me in my dreams
just like you never left, and I never wept
We laugh and play again, like I was a child
To realize you are still here. With me

We can soar the winds at night
Ring around the Rosie till we fall down
Love me like you did when I was young
Watch cartoons or I can sing to you
Eating popcorn on the couch between you two
It’s all these things that brought me to realize…
Chorus
…And then I lay my head at night
thinking of the days when you raised me right
I never thought there would be a day
that you’d be gone

I am never alone with our memories inside

Verse

It’s the little things
that stop me in my tracks
loving moments that our
little family never lacked

An only child, the most loved soul
I never questioned why
I don’t imagine what I would be
if it’d been different for me - I miss you

Pre-Chorus

As I drift asleep tonight, I feel
you hold me in my dreams
just like you never left, and I never wept
We laugh and play again, like I was a child
To realize you are still here.

We can soar the winds at night
Ring around the Rosie till we fall down
Love me like you did when I was young
We can play catch before a softball game
And our weekend plans never are the same
These are all these things that brought me to realize…

Chorus

…And then I lay my head at night
thinking of the days when you raised me right
I never thought there would be a day
that you’d be gone

I am never alone with our memories inside
