Southern Cross - Live

Ooh, ooh, ooh
 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
 Got out of town on a boat to the southern islands
 On a reef before a following sea
 We was makin' for the trades on the outside
 On the downhill run to Papeete
 On this headed off wind 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 a midnight watch, I realized why twice you ran away
 Think about, think about how many times I have fallen
 Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'
 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
 You know it will
 When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
 You understand that's why you came this way
 'Cause the truth you've been runnin' from is so small
 But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day
 And I'm headed all the way, tears are dyin'
 And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain
 I have my ship and all my flags are a flyin'
 She is all that I have left, and music is her name
 Think about, think about how many times I have fallen
 Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'
 What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
 I have been around the world
 Lookin', lookin' for that woman girl
 Who knows love can endure
 And you know it will
 And you know it will
 ♪
 So we cheated and we tried and we tested
 And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do
 You will survive being bested
 Somebody strong comes along makes me forget, forget about loving you
 And the Southern Cross
