Sniffing out lyrics from the sett
Search - Artist: Song Title:

southern cross - crosby stills and nash

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 realized

Why twice you ran away.

Chorus

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.

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.

Chorus

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 woma/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.

At the Southern Cross.
