Civil Wars, The - Finding North Lyrics






Draw me a map that I can hold
Lines that tell me where to go
My head is full of lonely harmonies
And questions no one's asking me

Who's gonna take my hand, show me the way?
How long will I have to wait for someday?

It's not the sky I'm asking for
I'm just having trouble finding north
I've gone as far as I can go
Trying to find something that feels like home

Who's gonna take my hand, show me the way?
How long will I have to wait for someday?

One more sunset runs away
Becomes another yesterday
I'm still waiting

Won't someone wake me up, open these eyes?
Won't someone even try?

Who's gonna take my hand, show me the way?
How long will I have to wait for someday, someday?

    wil this ever be available on spotify?

  2. J.... A....

    Just stunningly beautiful and powerful. An amazing arrangement with powerful lyrics accompanied by two heavenly voices. It simply is impossible to get much better than this!!!

  3. S.... F....

    For Christ sake please put the tabs to your song somewhere in the world! This song is too beautiful to not be spread throughout the world!!

  4. I.... P....

    I thought I had listened to all Civil Wars songs. Until I went on their website after all these years and found out about this soundtrack. I still have something to listen for the first time. I'm crying that after these once again I might never again hear a civil wars track for the first time

    I.... P....

    Isabel Pohjanen Try listening to “Marionette” which is also a rare soundtrack of them

    I.... P....

    I feel the same way! Thank you for telling me about Marionette, I’ll listen to it! ❤️

    "Finding North"

    Draw me a map that I can hold
    Lines that tell me where to go
    My head is full of lonely harmonies
    And questions no one's asking me

    Who's gonna take my hand, show me the way?
    How long will I have to wait for someday?

    It's not the sky I'm asking for
    I'm just having trouble finding north
    I've gone as far as I can go
    Trying to find something that feels like home

    Who's gonna take my hand, show me the way?
    How long will I have to wait for someday?

    One more sunset runs away
    Becomes another yesterday
    I'm still waiting

    Won't someone wake me up, open these eyes?
    Won't someone even try?

    Who's gonna take my hand, show me the way?
    How long will I have to wait for someday, someday?

    Buck Turgidson, ever heard the saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all"... Negative Nelly's such as yourself are tiresome and seem to be very unhappy people... whatever, man... I'm just stoked for the music.

    watch?v=vCoGoOij1is

    4:46 daughter #2 has her hands cupped round her mouth screaming :-)

  58. D.... H....

    Yes I was lucky enough to be in the same position last year in Manchester with my 2 teenage daughters, one of whom was handed the set list by one of the roadies as they cleared the stage after the gig. She has it framed on her bedroom wall now and mourns the split daily. We were captured on their official video blog which is here on youtube somewhere!

  59. S.... M....

    The tour was cancelled *months* ago due to "irreconcilable differences of ambition". I count myself lucky to have seen them live in March 2012, right at the front up against the mic stands, and (sadly) don't expect to ever see them perform again.

  60. D.... H....

    This soundtrack is the "more music" recorded last year. This is Joys Hubby squeezing every last cent out of the Civil Wars name. They should come clean. Not convinced? Watch the Grammy acceptance they can't even look at each other.

  61. D.... R....

    They haven't broken up. They cancelled their tour, but that's all. They promised more music to come in 2013.

    You're amazing, JW and JPW! Keep it up!

  62. L.... O....

    <3 Here's hoping to some more new music in 2013 :) I love this song

  63. D.... H....

    I take it this was recorded before the break up. Surely the Civil Wars management should put this to bed now. The legacy is one wonderful album and everything after only waters down that moment.

  64. c.... ....

    When was this recorded? This pre-breakup? or they back together (he says hoping)?

  65. L.... H....

    When i saw this in my subscriptions i was like "Freaking Finally" i love you guys sooo much wink wink John

  66. s.... a....

    Very nice!

  67. S.... S....

    Please don't ever stop making music, simply beautiful.

  68. T.... ....

    Gorgeous! Love the The Civil Wars! And I'm quickly growing fonder of Mr Burnett due to his work on Nashville. Just beautiful!

  69. H.... L....

    Absolutely amazing!

  70. N.... U....

    Thank you for making more music together! I genuinely love you both.

  71. C.... ....

    Bravo to The Civil Wars and T Bone Burnett for their involvement in this film!
    People need to go see this.
