Southern Cross

Got out of town on a boat to the Southern Islands Sailing a reach before a following sea She was making for the trades on the outside And the downhill run to Papeete On the wind on this headin' lies the Marquesas We got eighty feet of a waterline and nicely making way In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you And 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) Spirits are using me larger voices calling What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten (Never forgotten) I have been around the world Lookin' for that woman-girl Who knows love can endure And you know it will Now when you see that Southern Cross for the first time Then you understand just 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 we cheated 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 (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 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 And she is all that I have left and music is her name (Just think about) Think about how many times I have fallen Spirits are using me larger voices calling Think about how many times we have fallen Spirits are using me larger voices calling Think about how many times we have falling Spirits are using me larger voices calling And you know they will
