Southern Cross Lyrics - Singles - Dan Mccafferty

Rocking through the night 

All is silent...southern cross 

It's easy for me to write 

Even though I wonder... 

But I feel nothing seems lost 

We're still full of hope 

Although the trip is grinding 

What can I say 

Remember how we talked about 

A world that's free 

It may be hard to find 

The land where war and hatred ceased to be 

And the ship is sailing on across the ocean 

We said farewell to yesterday 

But in a year and one more day 

You'll read the headlines everywhere 

About the daring messengers 

Who found an island in the sea 

Untouched by misery 

I'm wearing your bandanna 

Your picture's in my mind 

Well concealed 

And the vision of your face 

Is never far away no no 

It's always with me 

So your smile is my companian 

Till I'm back with you again 

We said farewell to yesterday 

But in a year and one more day 

You'll raed the news throughout the land 

About some new-age emigrants 

Who found an island in the sea 

Untouched by misery 

The ship sailed on...course: south-west, passing "cape harn" heading 

Far the pacific ocean... no storm no damage to it's body could stop 

It on it's way. . . but the destination was still so far away 

They had sailed for almost four months and four days...
