Got out of town on a boat, going to Southern islands
Sailing a reach before a following sea
She was making for the trades on the outside
And the downhill run to Papeete
Got out of town on a boat, going to Southern islands
Sailing a reach before a following sea
She was making 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
[Pre-Chorus]
(I think about)
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've been around the world)
[Chorus]
I have been around the world (Looking)
Looking for that woman-girl
(And I know she knows)
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will
[Verse 2]
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand now why you came this way
Cause the truth you might be running from is so small
But it's as big as the promise
The promise of a coming day
So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a-dying
And my love is an anchor tied to you
Tied with a silver chain
I have my ship
And all her flags are a-flying
She is all that I have left
And music is her name
[Pre-Chorus]
(I think about)
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've been around the world)
[Chorus]
I have been around the world (Looking)
Looking for that woman-girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will
And you know it will
(Yes)
[Verse 3]
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
In the Southern Cross
Izašao iz grada na brodu, odlazak na južni otoci
Jedrenje doseg prije sljedećeg mora
Napravila je za trgovine izvana
I nizbrdo trčanje do Papeetea
S vjetra na ovom naslovu laž, markeza
Imamo osamdeset metara vodene linije
Lijepo činiti način
U bučnom baru u Avalonu pokušao sam te nazvati
Ali u ponoć sam shvatio
Zašto dva puta pobegao
[Pre-hor]
(Mislim na)
Razmislite koliko sam puta pao
Duhovi me koriste, veći glasovi pozivaju
Što ti je nebo donijelo i mene
Ne može se zaboraviti (bio sam širom svijeta)
[Chorus]
Bio sam širom svijeta (izgleda)
Tražite tu ženu-djevojku
(I znam da zna)
Ko zna da ljubav može izdržati
I znate da će
[VERSE 2]
Kad prvi put vidite južni krst
Sad razumiješ zašto si došao na ovaj način
Uzrokovati istinu od kojeg biste mogli voditi tako male
Ali velika je kao i obećanje
Obećanje dana na dan
Tako da jedvam za sutra, moji snovi su umirali
A moja ljubav je sidro vezano za tebe
Vezan srebrnim lancem
Imam svoj brod
I sve njene zastave su leteće
Ona je sve što sam ostavio
A muzika je njeno ime
[Pre-hor]
(Mislim na)
Razmislite koliko sam puta pao
Duhovi me koriste, veći glasovi pozivaju
Što ti je nebo donijelo i mene
Ne može se zaboraviti (bio sam širom svijeta)
[Chorus]
Bio sam širom svijeta (izgleda)
Tražite tu ženu-djevojku
Ko zna da ljubav može izdržati
I znate da će
I znate da će
(Da)
[VERSE 3]
Pa smo prevarili i lagali smo i testirali smo
I nikad nismo uspjeli propasti
Bila je to najlakša stvar
Preživićete da ćete biti odvojeni
Neko dobro
Doći će, natjerati me da zaboravim na tebe
U južnom krstu
