Southern Cross (Live)

Southern Cross

Got out of town on a boat

Going to Southern Islands

Sailing a reach before a following sea

She was making 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 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

Think about

Think about how many times I have fallen

Spirits are using me

Larger voices calling

What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten

I have been around the world

Looking 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 running from is so small

But it's as big as the promise

The promise of a coming

Day

So I'm sailing for tomorrow

My dreams are a dying

And my love is an anchor tied to you

Tied with a

Silver chain

I have my ship and all her flags are a flying

She's all that I have left and music is her name

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

In the Southern Cross
