Southern Cross Songtext
von Crosby, Stills & Nash

Got out of town on a boat goin′ to southern islands
Sailing a reach before a followin' sea
She was makin′ for the trades on the outside
And the downhill run to Papa Tate
Off the wind on this heading lie the marquesas
We got eighty feet of the 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've been around the world) I have been around the world
(Lookin′) lookin′ for that woman, girl
(Who knows? She knows) 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 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 comin′ day
So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a-dyin′
And my love is an anchor tied to you
Tied with a silver chain
I have my ship and all her 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′ve been around the world) 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 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
And the southern cross

I gonna quiet things down with just a very, very beautiful song that was actually written by our keyboard player James Raymond
