Southern Cross

I woke up at 4:35 still jet lagged from another plane ride
And opened my window over bondi beach
Where all the stars seemed out of reach
And recognized none but the southern cross
Sitting on my bed with the light turned off
Till i found a sweet song on the little clock radio and it made me cry
Singing have some faith, have some faith
And i don't know what i want but i know where i want to be
And everywhere i go, i wish you were here with me
Stars hang on tiny strings, my dreams are made of memories
Once everything made sense, now i get so alone that i can't sleep
Will somebody please tell me if this is where i'm supposed to be
Bottles on the table and socks on the floor
Trying to remember what i started this for
When a surfer friend of mine came and picked me up
And we paddled out as the sun was coming up
Talking about how everybody has to find
Something that gives them the strength to be alive
And out laying on our boards in the southern hemisphere, he said to me
Gotta have some faith, have some faith
And i don't know what i want but i know where i want to be
And everywhere i go, i wish you were here with me
Stars hang on tiny strings, my dreams are made of memories
Once everything made sense, now i get so alone that i can't sleep
Will somebody please tell me if this is where i'm supposed to be

Southern Cross

by The Mountain Goats

This southern cross is full of holes
Frozen and over
another shark that never shows
right until its everywhere
I tried to make it
I tried to make it alright,
Alright
So what do i do-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Yeah what do i do-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Oh yeah yeah
You should of said, you should of known
Known you'd go nowhere
Another friend that never shows
Right when you need them more,
Than I could ever
And ever made it alright,
Alright
So what do i do-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Yeah what do i do-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Oh yeah yeah
And i tried to make it
I tried to make it alright,
Alright
So what do i do-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Yeah what do i do-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah

Southern Cross

by Sentinel Beast

Oooh ...
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
(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
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 yes
[Instrumental (Electric Guitars)]
Oooh ...
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
[Ending (Acoustic Guitars)]

Southern Cross

by David Cook

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.

Southern Cross

by Louis Jordan

You are standing here as true as you were born on this earth.
Don't pin all your hopes and your dreams on somebody else's lives.
The Southern cross is twinkling and watching us.
Far beyond, so far away from us.
The Southern Cross is a holy light.
We are the crusaders of the Southern Cross.
Go, if you come up against a hurdle.
Fight, fight for the things you believe in.
Passion, Joy, Sorrow, pain and tears.
All they will be pabulum of your life.
Go, if you come under the wet yourself.
Fight, fight for the person you believe in.
Destiny is calling you...
“Obey me, or defy me”
[PianoSolo : 403]
The Southern cross is twinkling and watching us.
Far beyond, so far away from us.
The Southern Cross is a holy light.
We are the crusaders of the Southern Cross.
Go, if you come up against a hurdle.
Fight, fight for the things you believe in.
Passion, Joy, Sorrow, pain and tears.
All they will be pabulum of your life.
Go, if you come under the wet yourself.
Fight, fight for the person you believe in.
Destiny is calling you...
“Obey me, or defy me”
[PianoSolo & GuitarSolo : 403]
Is there a thing which is superior to love in this world?
A man is living with loving someone and then being loved by others.
We are standing here as true as we were born on this earth.
The moment of yesterday when we lived is never waste.
Go, if you come up against a hurdle.
Fight, fight for the things you believe in.
Passion, Joy, Sorrow, pain and tears.
All they will be pabulum of your life.
Go, if you come under the wet yourself.
Fight, fight for the person you believe in.
Destiny is calling you...
“Obey me, or defy me”
“......”
This little time that you live here
may be treasure when you are old.
Go, if you come away from your way.
Find, find your own way that you believe in.
Destiny is challenging you...
“Obey me, or defy me”
We cannot turn back to our past.
We cannot change our past.
However, we're heading for the future.
So, let us reach out our hands.....our hands!
