Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

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

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 have been around the world
Lookin' 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 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 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
At the Southern Cross
