Miscellaneous |
|
Southern Cross |
|
Got out of town on a boat |
|
Goin' to Southern islands. |
|
Sailing a reach |
|
Before a followin' sea. |
|
She was makin' for the trades |
|
On the outside, |
|
And the downhill run |
|
To Papeete. |
|
Off the wind on this heading |
|
Lie the Marquesas. |
|
We got eighty feet of the waterline. |
|
Nicely making way. |
|
In a noisy bar in Avalon |
|
I tried to call you. |
|
But on a midnight watch I realized |
|
Why twice you ran away. |
|
Chorus |
|
Think about how many times |
|
I have fallen |
|
Spirits are using me |
|
larger voices callin'. |
|
What heaven brought you and me |
|
Cannot be forgotten. |
|
I have been around the world, |
|
Lookin' for that woman/girl, |
|
Who knows love can endure. |
|
And you know it will. |
|
And you know it will. |
|
When you see the Southern Cross |
|
For the first time |
|
You understand now |
|
Why you came this way |
|
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from |
|
Is so small. |
|
But it's as big as the promise |
|
The promise of a comin' day. |
|
So I'm sailing for tomorrow |
|
My dreams are a dyin'. |
|
And my love is an anchor tied to you |
|
Tied with a silver chain. |
|
I have my ship |
|
And all her flags are a flyin' |
|
She is all that I have left |
|
And music is her name. |
|
Chorus |
|
Think about how many times |
|
I have fallen |
|
Spirits are using me |
|
larger voices callin'. |
|
What heaven brought you and me |
|
Cannot be forgotten. |
|
I have been around the world, |
|
Lookin' for that woma/girl, |
|
Who knows love can endure. |
|
And you know it will. |
|
And you know it will. |
|
So we cheated and we lied |
|
And we tested |
|
And we never failed to fail |
|
It was the easiest thing to do. |
|
You will survive being bested. |
|
Somebody fine |
|
Will come along |
|
Make me forget about loving you. |
|
At the Southern Cross. |
