歌曲 | Southern Cross |
歌手 | Jimmy Buffett |
专辑 | Buffett Live: Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays |
Written:Stephen Stills/Richard Curtis/Michael Curtis | |
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. |
