Southern Cross

Crosby, Stills

5

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 outsideAnd the downhill run to Papa Tate

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

(Think about), 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've been around the world) I have been around the world

(Lookin′) lookin′ for that woman, girl

(Who knows? She knows) 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

(Think about), 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′ve been around the world) I have been around the world

(Lookin′) 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 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

And the southern cross

And the southern cross

Steven stills all day

Thank you very much

And I′m from for all of us that was

I gonna quiet things down with just a very, very beautiful song that was actually written by our keyboard player James Raymond

I love singing this

It call lay me down, one two
