Southern Cross Lyrics by Pickin’ On Series

The Bluegrass Tribute to Classic Rock, Vol. 2

0

[Verse 1]
Got out of town on a boat, come the Southern islands
Sailing a reach before a following sea
She was making for the trades on the outside
On the downhill run to Papeete Bay
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Think about, think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me, larger voices calling
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten
[Chorus]
I have been around the world
(Looking for) Looking for that woman-girl
(I know she knows) Who knows love can endure
And you know it will
[Verse 2]
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand now why you came this way
'Cause 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 are dying
My love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain
I have my ship and all her flags are flying
She is all that I have left and music is her name
[Pre-Chorus]
Think about, think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me, larger voices calling
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten
[Chorus]
I have been around the world
(Looking for) Looking for that woman-girl
(She knows she knows) Who knows love can endure
And you know it
And you know it will
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
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
In the Southern Cross
