Lyrics Southern Cross - Watershed

Got out of town on a boat called seven islands
Sailing reach before the following sea
She was making for the trades on the outside
In the downhill run to Papeete
Off the wind on this headlight of Marquesas
We got eighty feet to the water line
Nicely making away
In a noisy bar in Abelone I tried to call you
But on the midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away

Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me, larger voices calling
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
I have been around the world
Looking for that warm-hearted girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You will understand now why you came this way
Because the truth you might be running from is so small
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of the coming day
So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are dying
My love is an anchor tied to you tight with a silver chain
I got my ship and all the flags are flying
She is all that I have left and music is her name

So we cheated and we lied and we tested
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
