	Written：Stephen Stills/Richard Curtis/Michael Curtis
	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.
