Geoff Baker - Hope is Not a Compass, It’s a Cloud lyrics

rate me

I once knew a girl who couldn’t kill a song

We’d have to sit out the Beatles in her El Camino

Waiting for the end to come along

She left me for the Dead because I wouldn’t wait

On every single break that Uncle Jerry would take

At some point it just gets late

But I guess that’s what you get when you’re too pretty too young

And every bruiser on the block will buck and break into a run

Just to put a tab on your tongue

They told you there was hope in a song

I woke up next to you the morning your divorce came through

Backseat in a Little Rock parking lot

With a head too hurt to be true

You prayed for love sweet love but baby I’m all they sent

Not much to look at or shake a book at

But good for half the rent

But I guess that’s what we get for being high and too wide

Now everybody on the block is trying to talk you back to Christ

Just to put a turn in your tide

They’re telling you there’s hope in a guide

At the end you used to say we were like quotation marks

Words got between us not worth repeating

And kept us hard apart

Better on the move is better on your own

Hell even I can see what everybody calls freedom

Is nothing but being alone

But I guess that’s what we get for being fast and too free

Now everybody on the block knew you were better than me

And talk of other fish in the sea

Made you hope for things you can’t see

Hope is not a compass, it’s a cloud and one of the brightest

It proves there’s light but will not let you get

To where the light is

Hope is not a compass, it’s a cloud and one of the brightest

It knows there’s light but will not let you get

To know what light is
