Got out of town on a boat goin' to southern islands
G F CSailing a reach before a followin' sea
G F CShe was makin' for the trades on the outside,
And the downhill run to Papeete Bay
G F COff the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
G C C Am GWe got eighty feet of the waterline, nicely making way
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
G F C Am GBut on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away
CHORUS
Think about how many times I have fallen
F C F GSpirits are using me, larger voices callin'
F C F GWhat heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
I have been around the world
C F Glookin' for that woman, girl
C F GWho 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 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 are a dyin'
C Am GAnd my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain
I have my ship and all her flags are a flyin'
C Am GShe is all that I have left and music is her name ...CHORUS
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 C Am G
But somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you
In the Southern Cross
