Got out of town on a boat goin to southern islands.
Sailing a reach before a following sea.
She was making for the trades on the outside,
And the downhill run to Papapeete bay
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, 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 just 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.
And Im headin on my way. 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.
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 tried and we tested.
And we never failed to fail; it was the easiest thing to do.
You will survive being bested.
Somebody strong comes along makes me forget about loving you
And the Southern Cross
Get This Ringtone
