(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.
