[Verse 1]
Got out of town on a boat to the southern islands
On a reach before a following sea
We were makin' for the trades on the outside
On the downhill run to Papeete
On this headed off wind lie the Marquesas
We got eighty feet of waterline nicely making way
In a noisy bar in Avalon, I tried to call you
But on the midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
I have been around the world
Looking for that woman, girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will
You know it will
[Verse 2]
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand just why you came this way
'Cause the truth you been runnin' from is so small
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day
And I'm headed all the way to where dreams are dyin'
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain
I have my ship and all my flags are a-flyin'
She is all that I have left and the music is her name
Got out of town on a boat to the southern islands
On a reach before a following sea
We were makin' for the trades on the outside
On the downhill run to Papeete
On this headed off wind lie the Marquesas
We got eighty feet of waterline nicely making way
In a noisy bar in Avalon, I tried to call you
But on the midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
I have been around the world
Looking for that woman, girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will
You know it will
[Verse 2]
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand just why you came this way
'Cause the truth you been runnin' from is so small
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day
And I'm headed all the way to where dreams are dyin'
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain
I have my ship and all my flags are a-flyin'
She is all that I have left and the music is her name
