Artist : Jimmy Buffett Song : Southern Cross
Got out of town on a boat for the southern
islands On a reach before a following
sea We were 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 the 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 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.
And you know it will.
When you see the
southern cross for the first time You
understand just why you came this way Cause
the truth you might be running from is so
small But its as big as the promise, the
promise of a coming day
And I'm heading
all the way, my dreams are dying And my love
is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver
chain I have my ship and all her flags are
a-flying She is all I have left and music is
her name
(chorus)
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
