Southern Cross
Cover tune by Crosby, Stills and Nash
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Got out of town on a boat, heading for the Southern Islands
Sailing a reach, across the following seas,
We where making for the Trades, on the outside
On a down hill run to Papa-tee Bay
Off the wind on this heading, lie the Marquesses
We got 80 feet of water line, nicely making way.
In a noisy bar in Avalon, I tried to call you
When on the midnight watch I realized
why twice you ran away....think about
How many time I have fallen
Spirits are using me, higher voices calling
What heaven brought you and me can not be forgotten
I have been around the world
Searching 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, why you came this way
Because the truth that your running from may seem so small but it's as big as the promise, the promise of the coming day
And so I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are dyeing. My love is tied to you, tied with a silver chain.
I have my ship, all her flags are flying. She's all I have left and Music is her name
How many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me, higher voices calling
What Heaven brought you and me can not be forgotten
I have been around the world
Searching for that woman girl
Who knows love can endure
and you know it will....you know it will
And 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
and The Southern Cross
