Jimmy Buffett - Southern Cross Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Got out of town on a boat for the southern islands
  • Sailing a reach before a following sea
  • She was makin' 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 a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away
  • 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. 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 coming 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 I have left and music is her name
  • 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' 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.
