So Im sailing for tommorrow my dreams are a 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 that I have left And music is her name (Repeat chorus) So we cheated and we lied and we tested And we never failed to fail It was the easiest thing to do You will suvive being bested Somebody fine will come along Make me forget about losing you In the southern cross............
