GOT OUT OF TOWN ON A BOAT
GOIN' TO SOUTHERN ISLANDS
SAILING A REACH
BEFORE A-FOLLOWIN' 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 THE WATERLINE
NICELY MAKING WAY
IN A NOISY BAR IN AVALON
I TRIED TO CALL YOU
BUT ON A MIDNIGHT WATCH
I REALISED
WHY TWICE YOU RAN AWAY
THINK ABOUT
THINK ABOUT HOW MANY TIMES
I HAVE FALL-ALL-EN
SPIRITS ARE USIN' ME
LARGER VOICES CALL-ALL-IN'
WHAT HEAVEN
BROUGHT YOU AND ME
CANNOT BE FORGO-OH-TTEN
I HAVE BEEN AROUND THE WORLD
LOOKIN' FOR THAT WOMAN, GIRL
WHO KNOWS LOVE CAN ENDURE
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 COMIN' 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 THAT I HAVE LEFT
AND MUSIC IS HER NAME
THINK ABOUT
THINK ABOUT HOW MANY TIMES
I HAVE FALL-ALL-EN
SPIRITS ARE USIN' ME
LARGER VOICES CALL-ALL-IN'
WHAT HEAVEN
BROUGHT YOU AND ME
CANNOT BE FORGO-OH-TTEN
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
YES
OOH... OOH-OOH
OOH... OOH-OOH, OOH
OOH... OOH-OOH
OOH...
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
