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 midnight watch I realized why
twice you ran away
CHORUS:

Think
about how many times I have fallen spirits are using me larger voices calling

Looking
for that woman girl who knows love can endure and you know it will and you know
it will
G F C G F C/G
When
you see the Southern Cross for the first time you understand now why you came
this way
G F C G F C/G
Cause
the trust you might be running from I so small it’s as big as the promise the
promise of coming day
G F C G F C F G
So
I’m sailing for tomorrow my dreams are a dying and my love is an anchor tied to
you tied with a silver
G F C G F C F G
chain,
I have my ship and all my flags are a flying she is all that I have left and
music is her name
REPEAT
CHORUS
G F C G F C/F G
So
we cheated and we lied and we tested and we never failed to fail it was the
easiest thing to do
G F C G F C/F G
You
will survive being bested but somebody fine will come along make me forget
about loving you in the
Southern
Cross
