SOUTHERN CROSS- Crosby, Stills, & Nash
GoGt out of town on a boFat goin' to southern islCands
Sailing a reGach Fbefore a followin' sCea
SGhe was makin' for the traFdes on the outCside,
And the dowGnhill run Fto Papeete BCay
Off the wiGnd on this headFing lie the MarqCuesas
We got eigGhty feet of the Cwaterline, nCicely mAmaking Gway
In a noiGsy bar in AvFalon I tried to cCall you
But on a midGnight watch I reFalized why twCice you rAman awGay
CHORUS:
TFhink about how maCny times IF have faGllen
SpFirits are usiCng me, larFger voices calGlin'
WFhat heaven brought yCou and me canFnot be forgGotten
I have been arCounFd the worlGd
looCkin' for that woFman, giGrl
Who knCows love caFn endGure
And you know it wGillF C And you know it wiGll F C
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, tieCd with a siAmlver chGain
I have my ship and all her flags are a flyin'
She is all that I have left and muCsic isAm her nGame ...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 survive being bested C Am G
But somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you
In the Southern Cross
