Southern Cross (Live)

One, two, you know what to do

Got out of town on a boat, gonna Southern Islands
Sailing to reach before a following 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 80 feet of waterline nicely making way
In a noisy bar in Avalon, I tried to call you
On a midnight watch, I realized why twice you ran away

(Oh, I think about it) think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten (c'mon)

I have been around the world
Looking for that woman-girl
Who knows love can endure?
And you know it will

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand now why you came this way
The truth you might be runnin' 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 might be 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
My beloved all that I have left and music is her name

(Oh, I think about it) think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten (help me)

I have been around the world
Lookin' for that woman-girl
Who knows love can endure? (Alright)
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, ooh, ooh
You will survive being bested, somebody fine
Will come along, make me forget about lovin' you
In the Southern Cross
In the Southern Cross (whoo)

Thank you
