Lyrics
Riding out of town on a boat going to southern Algonquin
Sailing the reach before the following sea
She was making for the trade on the outside
And the down hill ride kept up on your tail
Off the wind on this heading light from Marquesas
You got eighty feet of waterline nicely making way
In a noisy bar in Avalon I got to call you
On the midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away
Oh, think about
Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me, larger voice is calling
What ever 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
When you see the southern cross for the first time
You understand now why you came this way
The truth you might be running 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 won't be dying
My love has an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain
I have my ship, all her flags are flying
She might be all that I have left and music is her name
Oh, think about
Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me, larger voice is calling
What ever 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
So we cheated and we lied and we tested
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
In the southern cross
In the southern cross
