CHORUS:
	 			 Em        D         Em
				Windrose, Windrose, Windrose
				 Em         D              Em
				Paint me a map to find my road
				 D                         Em
				Show me the pathway to my soul
				 D                         Em     D      Em
				Changing direction of the corners of my heart


				 G         D         Em        D
				Windrose, Windrose, east wind blowing


			Em            D
			Am I mad?  Or am I sane?
			 Am                        G
			Memories lie behind these scars
			 Em                D
			Love all twisted, Void without
			    Em               G
			No greater than the void within
			     G                Am
			But like may call to like, 'tis said
			    D                Em
			Perhaps this is the reason why
			   Em                D 
			I feel the space between the worlds
			     Em         Am     Em
			The same space lies in me


				CHORUS


				Windrose, Windrose, south wind blowing


			Are these shackles not my own?
			Have I given up my life
			Only for a moment's peace?
			Yet even now, within my mind
			I carry him who formed my power
			Not even death, nor silent tower
			Can silence him who echoes still
			Behind my twisted life


				CHORUS

				Windrose, Windrose, west wind blowing


			They say that I have broken faith
			By madness driven to the breach
			And so I see my madness clear
			If none around me can be sane
			Then I, who see the truth unveiled
			With none beside me, still must act
			My own bare sight my only guide
			And so I am alone


				CHORUS

				Windrose, Windrose, north wind blowing


			I only want to live my life
			With her I love, no burden laid
			But deep the power's call in me
			And tangled are the skeins which bind
			My magic, love and inner fire
			The call cannot be put to rest
			It rises from the windrose stem
			The compass of my life


				CHORUS


				Windrose, Windrose, gale wind blowing
				Compass it within my life
